Jurrien Marinus Beek - Lake Lugano

An atmospheric and sun-drenched Mediterranean village scene by the Dutch painter Jurrien Marinus Beek (1879-1965). This is a beautiful Impressionist oil painting on canvas with a view of Lake Lugano. In the background, the distinctive shape of Monte San Salvatore is recognizable. The work is constructed with fluid, impasto brushwork and possesses a beautiful luminous character in which the warm southern light and the lush, colorful sea of flowers along the walking path are perfectly showcased. The painting is in honest, unrestored condition and is still mounted on the original wooden stretcher frame, including the wooden corner wedges for stretching the canvas if desired. Hand-signed by the master himself in the lower right corner. Includes a matching, rustic white wooden decorative frame.
