A native of Belgium, Guy Cambier is considered a French neo-classic painter.  In this work he combines neo-classicism with elements of impressionism.  The soft colors and gentle portrayal of a mother and child evokes feelings of love and tenderness.  The literature that accompanies the plate credits Cambier’s inspiration as the fifteenth-century Renaissance masters that he studied.  Whether or not this was the dominant influence informing Cambier’s work, the result is a piece that will make a wonderful gift from a child to his or her mother or from a mother to her child.

The accompanying literature provides a brief snapshot of the artist and the early challenges he faced as a child.  The plate is a D’Arceau-Limoges product made in the French town of Limoges, famous for its porcelains.  In addition to the numbered plate is a Certificate of Authenticity and the literature mentioned above in both English and French.  The plate was never displayed and has been in storage since issued.  Bradex 18-D15-8.4
