Experience the rich emotion and atmospheric depth of “La Seine,” an original oil painting by Maurice Vagh-Weinmann (1899–1986), a renowned French painter of Hungarian origin. This stunning piece captures a moody evening along the River Seine in central Paris, rendered in beautifully layered oil with Vagh-Weinmann’s signature expressive technique.

One of the most striking aspects of this work is its hand-carved wooden frame, a collectible in its own right, underscoring the painting’s importance and artistic value. This piece stands out not only for its composition but for the dramatic use of texture and tone—hallmarks of the artist’s impetuous, paste-like style.

About the artist: Maurice Vagh-Weinmann was part of a family of artists, with brothers Nándor and Elemer also active in the European art scene. The trio occasionally collaborated on works, often sharing similar subjects—intense landscapes and vivid, emotive portraits—and a bold, expressive painting style.

Vagh-Weinmann passed away in 1986, and his studio was partially dispersed in 1992 in a Paris sale by masters Ribeyre and Baron. Today, his works can be found in several major museums across France, solidifying his legacy in 20th-century European art.

An exceptional find for collectors, curators, or interior designers, this painting offers both historical relevance and timeless aesthetic appeal.
