RAYMOND THIBÉSART | Les Pommiers en Fleurs
Oil on Canvas
80 x 175 cms, 31½" x 69"
This original oil painting by Raymond Thibesart depicts a mesmerizing portrayal of trees in full blossom and captivates the viewer with its exceptional scale.
This monumental artwork stands as a testament to nature’s grandeur, commanding attention and evoking a sense of awe. The delicate trees, meticulously rendered with delicate brushwork, burst forth with vibrant pink and purple blossoms. The valley of the Seine unfurls into the hazy distance beyond, and one becomes immersed in the tranquil beauty of springtime.
Raymond Thibesart’s ethereal landscapes won great acclaim in the French Salons in the early twentieth century. Born in the elegant town of Bar-sur-Aube, surrounded by gently rolling hills and the champagne vineyards of the Grand Est region, the beauty of the French landscape and the artistic possibilities that it evoked made a deep impression on the young Thibesart.
In his early twenties, Thibesart studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and later at the progressive Académie Julian under the tutorage of Jules Lefebvre and Tony Robert-Fleury, who introduced a strong element of symbolism into his work.
Thibesart worked in pastel outdoors, allowing him to make rapid sketches of changing light effects and atmospheric qualities of the landscape. Within the tranquillity of his studio, Thibesart would then transfer the colours, movements and atmosphere captured in pastel onto large scale canvases whilst ensuring the spontaneity of his subject was never lost.
