a magnificent oil on panel by the french artist marcel gilly (1937–2021), known primarily for his works within the post-impressionist and expressionist movements, signed and dated 1949.

this particular work depicts a cityscape in a post-impressionist style, with a touch of fauvist influence. A river is depicted in the foreground, over which the roman bridge of a town in the aveyron region of occitania stands out. The scene is defined by loose, visible brushstrokes (typical of the impressionists), with considerable texture, which reinforces the sense of movement and light. It is a piece that conveys calm with a serene and balanced composition, where the only thing that matters is the contemplation of its beauty.

the color palette is luminous and seeks harmony between the violet, ochre, and green tones present in the shadows, thus creating a subjective interpretation of the landscape, characteristic of the landscape schools of the period.

the work retains the figurative structure of the urban landscape while aspiring to create a serene, constructive, and light-filled atmosphere. It focuses on capturing the beauty of the urban landscape, without an apparent message or critique, an aspect that links it to post-impressionism. A small gem of great aesthetic appeal.
