"En Mediterranee" by Emile Bellet Seriolithograph Serigraph in color on paper. Signed in the plate. It comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. Dimensions: 7 inches by 12 inches Image Dimensions: 5 inches by 10 1/4 inches Emile Bellet’s paintings are notorious for the mysterious female he included in his compositions. His wife, his daughter, and musings on an idyllic kind of woman were all sources of his inspiration. The familiar female figure used throughout his work is symbolic of his impression of femininity. She represents all women and, for this reason, has no facial expression. She is timeless, ageless, and universal. He also painted her in stages—first in blonde, then in brunette, and finally with red hair. The whimsical movement derived from Bellet’s impasto knife lends a sense of vision to his work, taking the viewer to a passing, momentary location. His settings are ethereal and transient, creating an atmosphere of mystery.
