Oil on Canvas

Signed Georges Robin (lower right)
Georges Charles Robin’s original oil painting, La Dordogne à Castelnau-Bretonnoux, depicts the serene beauty of the historical landscape of the Dordogne valley. The Poplars that line the riverbank are textured with dappled, impressionistic strokes, while the smooth, reflective water contrasts beautifully with the soft gradients of the sky. Robin skillfully balances the proportions, with the detailed foreground leading the eye toward the river and the castle's subtle silhouette on the horizon.
Recognised as one of the best Post-Impressionist artists, Robin’s skill and complete command of his palette set him aside from his contemporaries. Following the ‘en plein air’ practice of the Impressionist masters, in a few swift brushstrokes Robin brought life to the trees and rivers of the French countryside.
Enthralled by the enchanting river valleys of rural France that flowed through the luxuriant countryside and rolling fields, Robin’s paintings perfectly capture rustic and typical French life. Combining his deft and delicate touch with vigorous, dramatic brush strokes and palette knife work, he produced exceptional paintings.
Feted by the French artistic establishment and his many patrons during his lifetime, the multitude of awards that Robin garnered for his work illustrates the acclaim in which he was held. Gladwell & Patterson had a close relationship with Robin for the last 50 years of his life and are acknowledged as the world experts on his work.
