Jean-Marie Toulgouat (French, 1927-2006)

Jean-Marie Toulgouat (French, 1927-2006)
Pays de Provence
signed and dated 'Toulgouat 84' l.r., acrylic on card
image 45 x 46cm, unframed

Jean-Marie Toulgouat was related to Monet through marriage - his grandfather was married to Suzanne Hoschedé, the daughter of Monet's second wife. Born just nine months after Monet's death, Toulgouat grew up in Giverny close to Monet's home, and surrounded by the countryside and gardens that had inspired Monet's greatest paintings. He was also able to visit and learn from the wonderful collection at Monet's house including works by Pissarro, Renoir, Manet and Cézanne. This developed his impressionistic palette, which is demonstrated here in this beautiful rendering of Provence.

Sold for £180

Buying a pre-loved, antique, or vintage item not only provides you with unique style and value for money but it also helps to reduce landfill, and the annual emissions of an antique or vintage piece can be as little as one sixteenth of those of its new equivalent!

Sworders is proud to be supporting the work of Antiques are Green - the movement that was founded in 2009 to promote “a greener future created from the past”. Read their fascinating carbon footprint study of a Georgian chest of drawers versus a modern equivalent here
