1965 Belgian Village Oil Painting – Jeanne Pentinart

An original Belgian oil painting dated 1965 and attributed to Jeanne Pentinart, depicting a small village nestled among trees and surrounding countryside. Painted from an elevated viewpoint, the composition looks through a tangle of bare branches towards a group of traditional houses with blue and slate-grey roofs, their forms partly obscured by vegetation in the foreground. The artist uses confident, sweeping brushstrokes and thick passages of colour, working in a restrained palette of moss green, olive, pale yellow, soft grey and vivid blue. The loosely defined architecture and expressive treatment of the landscape give the painting a distinctly modern, mid-century European feel, with an emphasis on colour, movement and atmosphere rather than precise detail. Presented in a broad black-painted wooden frame with a contrasting white inner moulding, this original landscape would sit particularly well among other European oil paintings or as an individual piece above a small chest or side table.
