Painted in soft, sun-washed tones of sky blue, celadon, coral, ochre, and pale pink, it has the warm, hazy quality of the south of France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"697\" data-start=\"513\"\u003eThe reverse bears a handwritten inscription identifying the scene as a village in the Ardèche region and notes that it was painted by Albert Martin as “the little village of my youth.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"839\" data-start=\"699\"\u003eI sourced this together with three other paintings by Albert Martin, all depicting southern French landscapes in a similar palette and hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1110\" data-start=\"841\"\u003eIt has an especially fresh and decorative quality that would work beautifully layered into a gallery wall, displayed on a small shelf or easel, or styled in a child's room or nursery. The soft palette and storybook-like village scene give it a charming, collected feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1129\" data-start=\"1112\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSourced from France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1160\" data-start=\"1131\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 3\/8\" W x 4 1\/8\" H.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1178\" data-start=\"1162\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Artist: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe reverse lists the titles “Officier d’Académie” and “Officier de l’Instruction Publique,” official French academic distinctions often used by teachers, professors, and artists in the late 19th and early 20th century. They suggest Albert Martin was likely a respected regional painter or drawing instructor rather than an amateur hobbyist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1879\" data-start=\"1523\"\u003eThe Marseille address on the reverse (“Villa Berthe, Auriol-Blanc, Marseille”) and the reference to Ardèche suggest he was based in southern France and painted remembered landscapes from that region. The inscription has the tone of someone recalling a beloved village from childhood, which aligns beautifully with the painting’s warm, nostalgic atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1879\" data-start=\"1523\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e__\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping note:\u003c\/strong\u003e I will always refund any shipping overage if the actual cost is less than the estimated amount.
