Andre Franchet was a french artist born in 1896. He was active in France and is known for his technique and colorful visions expressed with a bright colored pallet creating a very special Parisian atmosphere. His most iconic works are beautiful oil on canvas paintings of colorful cityscapes depicting the times of his generation. His work is comparable to in many ways of the impressionist masters of the 20th Century. Parisian street scenes with book sellers and figures, Notre Dame, and the Seine river are among the wonderful paintings examples of his work from the prime of his career, where the viewer can feel the energy of the day and the excitement of the times as he always captures so beautifully the architecture of Paris with magnificent details. Andre Franchet passed away in 1961.
