Église au Bord du Village
Vintage French Oil on Board | Framed

A quiet French village captured in soft oils and grounded stillness. This vintage oil painting depicts a hilltop hamlet clustered around its central church, with rust-red rooftops, chalky cottages, and a distant steeple rising into an expansive sky. Painted on board and framed in a classic giltwood moulding with aged patina, this piece feels both timeless and deeply rooted in place.

The palette is subtle but evocative of rosemary green fields, linen whites, and brick hues fade into a sky the colour of chambray. There's a rhythm to the rooftops and a gentle hush to the scene, as though the bells have just finished tolling and the village has exhaled.

Perfect for adding a layer of warmth and history to a hallway, entryway, or gallery wall, this piece would sit beautifully beside natural wood, linen textures, or antique furnishings.
