Massive Lyonnaise Painting -Late 1800’s

Acrylic on Burlap – Good Antique Condition – Late 1800’s

This bright and sunny French antique painting/theatre backdrop of a Lyonnaise farmhouse setting exudes warmth and serenity in its scene and color palette.  There are mostly warm shades of yellows, oranges and browns, with the exception of the  bright blue sky.  It depicts a late afternoon day at the farm, with oxen meandering past a cart towards one of the bright yellow haystacks.  The rooster and hens are feeding in the foreground  while other farm animals are at barn in the back.  A gentleman is walking up the driveway towards the main house with a farm implement in hand, ready to retire for the day.

This massive unframed  painting was probably used as both a theatre backdrop as well as a painting for a large wall.  The burlap upon which it is painted only adds to the nature of the painting and is definitely a plus.
