With a penchant for portraiture and still life, combined with an intrepid use of colour, his work in oil is captivating and inspired by domestic life in Paris and the French countryside.Biography Bertrand PY (1895-1973) was a French artist born in Belfort, France. At a very young age, he showed serious inclinations for drawing and painting. Based in Paris, he pursued fine classical studies which he later stopped rather abruptly to devote himself exclusively to painting. He entered the National School of Fine Arts by being deceptive about his age. Frequenting galleries such as the Louvre Museum, Py developed his skills by sketching the works of Rembrandt, Vermeer, Velasquez, Chardin and Delacroix among others. His work today exhibits this broad spectrum of influence, from the renaissance to post-impressionism through his unique style of neo-realism. He began exhibiting his work at the age of 25 at the Salon of French Artists and in 1929 became a member of the Salon d’Automne. He also exhibited at the Armant Drouant Gallery, the Simonson Gallery, the Galerie Bernhiem and the Petit Palais. He held sold shows at the Maison des Artistes and the Bassano Gallery. He died in Paris in 1973. You can view our full collection of these here.

Sulis Fine Art traces its origins back four generations. Benjamin Diamond opened a picture framing factory in Midtown Manhattan in the early 20th century. Originally known as Royal Art, the business worked closely with artists and museum institutions, developing a reputation for creating fine frames. Royal Art passed through the family and eventually evolved into Sulis, now run by Benjamin's grandson Bill, and his son Dan. Based in the South West of England, we source art from across the British Isles and ship worldwide. We handpick all our stock and we've grown into a ten-strong team of art historians, photographers, restorers, studio technicians and despatchers. We relocated to our Corsham studio in early 2020, leaving behind our small garden workshops in Bradford-on-Avon that had been our base for several successful years. Now located on the edge of the Cotswolds, our current home allows the team to work alongside our large catalogue of artworks, allowing us to provide you with fast global shipping and top-notch customer service. We are always striving to connect people with the art they love. Each week we add new artworks to our extensive catalogue, across all styles, subjects, colours and periods. At the heart of Sulis, we rescue and restore lost and forgotten works, giving you the opportunity to find unique pieces and discover art in a new and different way. View All Artworks View More -->
