Philippe Robert stands out from the painters of his family with a resolutely more modern touch, inscribed in his time
The Swiss painters, who often came from France, but also from Germany and Italy, were influenced by Gauguin and Van Gogh. At the time of industrialization, they explored "their Swiss specificities, the mountains, the rural world, while rejecting a formal naturalism and favoring instead formal and chromatic experimentation.
His touch is grainy, he uses little paint, but works it skillfully and finely. His works are cheerful and bright.
His landscapes are characterized by a wide perspective with very elaborate skies and his landscapes transport the viewer to a sweet reverie.
Our painting probably represents the Val d'Orvin on Bienne, a region of Switzerland that he painted many times.
A foundation associated with the Museum of Bienne is dedicated to the Robert family. It contains numerous works by Philippe, who essentially devoted his painting to landscapes.
