Omschrijving
It is Spring time with this stunning large painting by the famous French artist Jean-Pierre Cassigneul. A painting that brings joy. You can imagine yourself in a lavish garden and almost smell the colorful wild flowers. The lady at the table enjoys her surroundings and radiates peace.

“Douceur de Mai” is a striking example of Cassigneuls’ signature style, blending elements of post-impressionism with a dreamlike elegance. The composition shows a refined woman seated at a small round table in a lush garden, her posture exuding a sense of quiet contemplation. She wears a stylish black skirt, sheer stockings, high-heeled shoes, and a sleeveless blouse. A fur stole drapes over her shoulders, adding to the air of luxury and nostalgia.

The setting is rich in vibrant greenery and blooming flowers, with striking red poppies and white roses contrasting with the deep green foliage. On the table, a single fig rests on a white plate, a subtle yet evocative detail. The scene feels timeless, capturing both the serenity of nature and the elegance of the woman.

Cassigneul’s work often portrays women in poetic, dreamlike settings, and Douceur de Mai exemplifies this with its harmonious blend of fashion, nature, and emotion. The painting invites you into a world of beauty and quiet reflection, where the interplay of color, light, and texture creates a lasting impression.

Jean-Pierre Cassigneul is a French painter and visual artist most famous for his post-impressionistic portraits of luxury women. His inspiration came from the revolutionary Les Nabis, Fauvist and Expressionist movements that dominated the early 20th century, represented by such artists as Pierre Bonnard, Edouard Vuillard and Kees van Dongen.

Jean-Pierre Cassigneul was born on July 13, 1935, in Paris, France and studied at the École des Beaux Arts before holding his first solo exhibition there at the age of 17. A year later, he was appointed a member of the Salon d’Automne. From 1956 to 1960 he studied under the French painter Roger Chapelain-Midy, and from 1965 onwards he exhibited at the Gallery Bellechasse in Paris. Since then he has exhibited across Europe, Japan, and the United States, and has also illustrated several books, among them Le Tour de Malheur by Joseph Kessel.

Cassigneul has enjoyed tremendous success since that first showing at the age of 17. His work is a product of a long tradition in French modern art. His work uses elements of representation that came before him and reorganizes them into a visual style that is all his own. With masterpieces for over six decades, Cassigneul has formed a body of work that will forever hold a place of prominence in the annals of French modern art.
