    Rue du Gros-Horloge, Rouen, Normandy

    by ArtbyOlek

    Regular price£350.00 Sale price

    A bold and colourful contemporary impression of one of Rouen's most recognisable landmarks, this painting captures the celebrated Gros-Horloge in a vibrant palette of fuchsia pinks and luminous whites.

    Painted en plein air in the heart of the bustling pedestrian street, I capture the energy and movement of a place alive with visitors admiring its magnificent medieval architecture. At its centre is the famous astronomical clock, installed in 1389 and one of the oldest of its kind in France.

    A source of inspiration for generations of artists and writers, including Gustave Flaubert, who featured Rouen in scenes from Madame Bovary, the Gros-Horloge continues to captivate the imagination. Through expressive brushwork and a contemporary impressionistic style, I aimed to offer a fresh and personal interpretation of this remarkable historic setting.

    The original signed work (acrylic on linen canvas) 55cm x 46cm is available for purchase at £350 plus shipping & packaging and will be delivered with a personally signed certificate of authenticity.
