About the Item

Charming French cityscape painting depicting the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, executed circa 1920 in a soft, impressionistic style. The composition captures the monument at the center of a lively boulevard scene, with early automobiles, cyclists, and strolling figures animating the foreground, all bathed in a warm, atmospheric light. The artist employs loose, fluid brushwork and a luminous palette of golden yellows, soft greens, and muted earth tones to evoke the movement and elegance of Paris in the early 20th century. The surrounding Haussmann architecture is suggested with painterly restraint, allowing the iconic arch to remain the focal point while conveying the energy of the avenue. The artwork is set in a more recent gilt wood frame with a clean, classic profile, and is presented with a finished backing, ready for immediate display. The antique painting is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, with minor wear to the frame. This piece would make a sophisticated addition to a study, hallway, or living room, bringing a refined touch of Parisian charm and timeless appeal to the space. Dimensions: 16"W x 12"H

19th Century French Parisian Scene Painting in Gilt Frame Signed E. Thioulouze

19th Century French Parisian Scene Painting in Gilt Frame Signed E. Thioulouze

By Édouard Leon Cortès

Located in Dallas, TX

Decorate a wall with this beautiful and colorful painting. Painted on canvas in Paris circa 1890 and set in a thick carved and gilt frame, the artwork beautifully captures the vibrant atmosphere of La Madeleine in Paris, a neoclassical church known for its imposing columns. The scene is set in front of the church, where bustling market stalls display a colorful array of flowers, and elegantly dressed Parisians walk by. The artist skillfully contrasts the grand architecture with the lively street life, highlighting the charm of daily activities in the heart of Paris. The use of rich colors and detailed brushwork conveys a sense of warmth and vibrancy, encapsulating a timeless Parisian moment. The artwork is signed in the lower left corner by French artist, E. Thioulouze, a follower of Edouard Leon Cortes. The painting is in excellent condition with vibrant colors and dressed in a beautiful and elegant gilt frame. The Church of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine, or less formally, La Madeleine, is a Catholic parish church on Place de la Madeleine in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. It was planned by Louis XV as the focal point of the new Rue Royal, leading to the new Place Louis XV, the present Place de la Concorde. It was dedicated in 1764 by Louis XV, but work halted due to the French Revolution. Napoleon Bonaparte had it redesigned in the Neoclassical style to become a monument to the glory of his armies. After his downfall in 1814 construction as a church resumed, but it was not completed until 1842. The building is surrounded on all four sides by Corinthian columns. The interior is noted for its frescoes on the domed ceiling, and monumental sculptures by François Rude, Carlo Marochetti and other prominent 19th-century French artists. Edouard Léon Cortès (1882-1969) was a French painter of French and Spanish ancestry. He is known as "Le Poète Parisien de la Peinture" or "the Parisian Poet of Painting...
