▷ Le noyer solitaire by André Boubounelle, 2025 | Oil Painting for Sale Mega Sale

Contemporary painter André Boubounelle paints landscapes in the classical style, at a time when practices often set aside the pictorial and the figurative.

Whether luminous or misty, his landscapes are never animated and exude a delicate poetry, a harmonious melancholy. This lends a rare emotional intensity to his paintings: as if immersed, one strolls through familiar landscapes of Burgundy, the Île-de-France, the sunlit countryside under snow, the Vexin, northern Brittany, and even Tuscany.

Born in 1962 in La Celle-Saint-Cloud, graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1983. Recipient of the Casa de Velázquez Prize, Institut de France, resident from 1991 to 1993. Recipient of the Wildenstein Foundation Prize in 1993.

The Vallée-aux-Loup departmental estate, La Maison de Chateaubriand in Chatenay-Malabry, dedicated an important exhibition to him in 2019, under the aegis of Marc Fumaroli (1932-2020), of the French Academy.
