Les Marais Rare painting On the back20th century French School oil on canvas signed in the lower left by Alphonse Rey (1865 1938). The canvas is smooth to the touch. The brushstroke in this landscape is detailed with fine, neat lines. Its depth is based on overlapping horizontal lines which gives a calming effect to the view. With light, and vertical spaces juxtaposed in grasses and plants, together the two planes give a strong sense of realism to the Marais. About the artist: Alphonse
