The chapel of Bascassan

François-Maurice Roganeau

1883-1973

Drawing with two pencils (red chalk and graphite) 20 X 17 cm mounted by a fine Marie-Louis in a pretty oak frame with golden border 30 X 27 cm.
Roganeau, a famous Bordeaux artist, was winner of the First Grand Prix de Rome in 1906 and, as such, provided many public and private commissions, but he loved the Basque Country very much, which he transcribed in scenes that were always interesting as well as oil than in these marvelous drawings, always precise and nevertheless admirably composed.
Here, the lovely chapel of Bascassan in slight low angle shows us its bells.
