“Rue Carnot, Rethel” – French Cathedral Painting, Signed T.G.

Oil on canvas, mid-century, depicting Église Saint-Nicolas de Rethel

“This is what makes collecting French art so magical — when you find the place, the light, the street, and it’s still there.”

Painted with crisp lines and natural light, this approx 14x12 oil on canvas captures the Église Saint-Nicolas as seen from Rue Carnot in Rethel, France — a fortified medieval town in the Ardennes.

Signed T.G., the artist renders the cathedral with architectural reverence: the soaring bell tower, the gothic arches, and the strong noonday shadows spilling across the cobblestones. Every detail — the shutters, the pink-and-gray wall, the stone tracery — remains faithfully visible on today’s Google Maps, confirming the painter likely worked en plein air or from intimate memory.

The colors are soft but clean: cerulean blue sky, muted gold stone, and dusty rose accents give this piece a dignified stillness.
