Provenance : - Purchased in July 1972 from Galerie les Chaudronniers, Geneva ; - private collection. Note: Victor Charreton is part of the legacy of Impressionist plein-air painting. His favorite subjects were the snowy landscapes of Murol and the Sancy massif, to which he devoted much of his work. Very attached to the Auvergne region, which he discovered after his marriage to the daughter of a Puy-de-Dôme entrepreneur, he developed a luminous style of painting, sensitive to atmospheric variations. His vivid palette and generous material, applied with both brush and knife, give his canvases a strong chromatic intensity and a great vibration of light.
