"Time lasts a long time and life surely more than a million years. And always in summer," sang Nino Ferrer in 1975. These words still ring true today as they convey the charm and welcoming ambiance that emanates from the South of France. Our artists, whether they have settled there or have only been there for a short time, marvelously illustrate the known and unknown treasures of this European paradise. This week, we're feeling a bit sentimental and proud as we present a selection of works celebrating the beauty of Southern France, through those who paint, draw and live it.

Springing forth from the Dark Ages and bursting onto the scene in its intellectual glory, the Renaissance spanned from the 14th to the 16th Century and is defined as the “rebirth” of art and culture. Spreading across Western Europe, it gave a platform to great Masters such as Michelangelo, Botticelli, Caravaggio and Artemisia Gentileschi. In this collection, our artists revisit masterpieces by prolific figures of the Renaissance. Though some works are more abstract or distinctly Renaissance-like than others, the modern touch brought to centuries-old subjects and styles is the Renaissance redefined in its own right.

With perhaps one of the most recognizable universes in cinema, Wes Anderson films and production designs boast singular aesthetics. His motley and deliberate settings amuse our eyes as we gaze upon his characters in otherworldly places, ripe with pastels and a relentless attention to detail. In the Wes Anderson style, every shot is a work of art. In honor of the forthcoming cinematic event, Rise Art has rounded up our artists' creations that could have been plucked straight from the imagination of this critically-acclaimed director and design mastermind.
