Description:
La Campagne De Chablis is a distinguished oil painting by René Charles Edmond His, renowned for his exceptional woodland and riverbank landscapes. The piece captures the serene essence of the French countryside, exemplifying His's meticulous approach to depicting nature.

The painting's composition reflects His's deep appreciation for natural landscapes, influenced by his mentor Henri Biva. The artist's sensitivity to light and texture, particularly in the interaction of light on water, is evident in this work, showcasing his dedication to capturing the subtleties of his surroundings.

Born in Colombes, France in 1877, René His was educated under the guidance of notable artists such as Jules Lefebvre, Tony Robert-Fleury, and Léon Tanzi. His artistic journey led him to become a member of La Société des Artistes Français in 1897, where he received significant recognition, including a bronze medal at the Exposition Universelle in 1900. Despite his reclusive nature, His's works were well-received in France and Britain, where collectors admired his portrayal of light and landscape.

This painting, presented with its original frame, stands as a testament to His's skill and artistic vision, making it a valuable addition for collectors of fine French landscape art.
