Louis Jacques Vigon (1897–1985)
Motif from Cargèse, Corsica
Oil on panel signed


This oil on panel by French artist Louis Jacques Vigon depicts a scene from Cargèse, a picturesque coastal village in Corsica known for its dramatic landscapes and Mediterranean light. Vigon’s painterly approach, marked by expressive brushwork and a rich yet harmonious palette, captures the essence of the region’s rugged beauty. His work often reflects the influence of Impressionism, with a focus on atmosphere, texture, and the interplay of light.

Provenance:
The work was originally owned by the French poet Marc Chesneau (1899–1980), who later bequeathed it to his son. Born in Rouen, Chesneau sought refuge in Stockholm in 1944, where he continued his literary career. This provenance adds an intriguing historical dimension to the work, linking it to a figure whose life was shaped by displacement and artistic expression.
