{"product_id":"bouleternere-charles-rennie-mackintosh-1","title":"Bouleternère - Charles Rennie Mackintosh","description":"\u003cp\u003eA precise watercolour study of the French village of Bouleternère, painted by Charles Rennie Mackintosh during his final years in the Pyrenees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the final years of his life, Charles Rennie Mackintosh relocated to the south of France, where he produced a series of watercolours documenting the architecture of the Pyrenees-Orientales region. Bouleternère is a representative example of this period, demonstrating his shift from the linear, decorative style of his Glasgow years toward a more observational, structural approach to painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition captures the village of Bouleternère, perched upon a hillside. Mackintosh employs a disciplined, geometric method to render the massing of the stone buildings. He uses a palette of muted greys, ochres, and terracotta tones to define the walls and tiled roofs, allowing the architectural forms to dominate the frame. The sky is rendered in a pale, flat wash, which provides a neutral backdrop for the dense, stacked arrangement of the village dwellings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike his earlier, more stylised floral designs, this work focuses on the physical reality of the built environment. The artist uses precise, controlled brushwork to delineate the edges of the structures, showing his training as an architect. The perspective is slightly flattened, which emphasises the rhythmic repetition of the rooflines and window apertures. This approach creates a sense of order within the chaotic, organic growth of the village. The work reflects his interest in the relationship between human construction and the natural topography of the Mediterranean region. It is a study of light, shadow, and form, stripped of unnecessary ornamentation, revealing the essential character of the French village through a modernist lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/golden-carp-and-sturgeon-gerrit-willem-dijsselhof\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eGolden Carp and Sturgeon - Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof — Gerrit Willem Dijsselhof\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/portrait-of-gothilda-furstenberg-carl-larsson\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Gothilda Fürstenberg - Carl Larsson — Carl Larsson\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Charles Rennie Mackintosh","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58829989839183,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58829992984911,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58829993017679,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Bouletern-re_Poster_CompositorV1_1789902584536.jpg?v=1789902894","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/sv\/products\/bouleternere-charles-rennie-mackintosh-1","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
