BELLONI Serge (1925-2005) “Paris in the Snow” Oil on cardboard, Signed bottom left, Beautiful, luminous work by painter Serge BELLONI, nicknamed the "painter of Paris," depicting a Parisian view in the snow. The artist has perfectly captured the subtle variations of a winter day in Paris. In the foreground one can distinguish the snowy banks of the Seine and in the background the Pont de la Tournelle with the Notre-Dame Cathedral. We can relate this work to those presented at the group exhibition at the Galerie des Orfèvres and the Musée Galliera in 1973. Known as "the painter of Paris," Serge Belloni arrived in Paris in 1933 and settled in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine. His father, Luigi Belloni, was a decorative upholsterer. Serge Belloni entered the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts and held his first exhibition in Paris in 1946, at the age of 26. At that time, the artist formed friendships with Lucien Moretti and Gérard Blondel. Serge Belloni dedicated himself to faithfully portraying authentic Paris, braving every season to paint en plein air. Belloni lived solely from his painting and throughout his life participated in numerous exhibitions in France and abroad. He was notably awarded the First Prize for Painting in Versailles (1949), the Marie Bashkirtseff Prize (1952), the Silver Medal of the City of Paris, and the Vermeil Medal of the City of Paris (1980). His works are held in numerous private and public collections around the world. Dimensions: 30 x 40 cm without the frame and 50 x 60 cm with its original gold wood frame. Our work can be paired with the second piece for sale, “The Seine Quays in Autumn.” For more information, please contact us.
