We present to you a superb watercolor on paper depicting a coastal landscape, most likely in Brittany with a bay and cliffs, by Marie-Paule Carpentier (1876-1915). The composition shows a stretch of turquoise water bordered by a shore in the foreground and wooded reliefs in the background, under a largely cloudy sky. Title: Coastal Landscape with Bay and Cliffs Technique: Watercolor on paper Artist: Marie-Paule Carpentier (1876-1915) Artwork format: 19.5 × 56 cm Period: Around 1900 Condition: Good condition, with light signs of wear and marks visible on the paper Marie-Paule Carpentier was a French painter born in Paris in 1876 and who died prematurely in Saint-Cloud in 1915 at the age of 39. Specializing in landscapes and genre scenes, she quickly established herself in the artistic life of the Third Republic thanks to her precise, expansive, and serene style. Sister of the painter Madeleine Carpentier, she worked with finesse in oil as well as, above all, watercolor. Her favored subjects are the melancholic perspectives of the Gardens of Versailles, but she also immortalized Breton landscapes along the Saint-Cast coast, Norman panoramas, and beach scenes. She became a member of the prestigious Salon des Artistes Français as early as 1896 and joined the Société nationale des beaux-arts in 1903. Her talent also led her to regularly exhibit at the Salon des Indépendants as well as at the Salon d'Automne from 1907 onward. Praised by contemporary critics for the expressive strength and maturity of her technique, her works are included in major national public collections, such as the Nantes Museum of Art and the Centre Pompidou. Her memory and brilliant career are today honored by a sculpted monument signed Émile Oscar Guillaume that adorns her grave at the Père-Lachaise Cemetery in Paris.
