Signed Framed Charles Cobelle 1966 oil on canvas painting entitled, "In the Park," is signed by the artist in black oil paint, lower right.

Having studied at l'Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, it is no surprise the Charles Cobelle would enjoy success as one of the leading French artists during much of the twentieth century. The chic and sophisticated lifestyle associated with French culture was a subject commonly depicted by the artist, as he focused on capturing the magnificent light associated with Paris and the decadent architecture and styles that emerged from the European city. Studying under Marc Chagall and Raoul Dufy, Cobelle evokes a whimsical and dreamlike sense with his figures and structures often dancing on air through the space of his pictures.

Showcasing his penchant for all things French, the glamorous city of Paris takes center stage in his oil on canvas painting entitled "In the Park." Infusing bold and vibrant fluorescent colors to bring this beautiful setting to life, Cobelle creates a magical setting that highlights the energetic and carefree lifestyle that was associated with the famous garden setting. Showcasing his masterful attention to detail, Cobelle uses loose and fluid strokes to bring every aspect of this painting to life and make the viewer feel as if they are in the setting basking in the wonderment that has long been found in the City of Lights.
