Can anyone identify this?

Yes I'm pretty sure it is Christian Loys and will keep digging. Thank you all for your input it's been so helpful.

It's by the artist Christian Loys.

Google image says it’s from an artwork by Steve des Landes. Suggesting a modern take on probably the last supper.

This painting is a work by the British artist John Reilly (1928–2010), titled "Christ with a Chalice".. Google lens tells me it's

Google also says it's 'This image is a painting titled Untitled by artist Ernest Ullmann, created in 1956'. (copied and pasted) from Google Lens.

dDH says Diego Rivera.
Mexican guy says he.

hoomee29 if you can picture the square and can narrow the town down a but maybe Google maps will help you find it again if it still exists.
I have found several places over the last few years by "walking" the street with Goodle!

Sores, yes it is. We also spent time near Beziers and Perpignan so I'm wondering if I got it in one of those areas. (We did the whole coast from Menton to Carnac one summer - a lovely trip). I can picture the square where the shop was but no signposts!

Elegran - cripes! There's a lesson for us!

La Rochelle is the west coast of France not the south.
I mention this only as it might be relevant.

The AI summary of the results I got from Google Image had TWO references to the things mentioned in the comments here, saying the painter was probably Christian Loys, or may be by El Greco, with no other suggestions, and the Google list of relevant links had several to this thread, with a copy of the image that the OP posted. No other images of it on any other site I can find. It just shows how incestuous AI answers to enquiries are - the main answers refer back to the original query as their "results".

I don't think the style is the same as any of the paintings by any artist that turned up in searches, so it must be by a lesser known artist, or an earlier or experimental work by a better-known one. Someone with specialised knowledge of Christian Loys may know of it being by him.

It us very beautiful.

Thank you NotSpaghetti! Luckygirl3, have looked up John Reilly - some beautiful work, similar, but so far can't find that picture.
The signature on the bottom was difficult to read, but I narrowed it down to Loys or Loyd. It has disappeared over the years, leaving a tide mark but as I said above, when I put the photo into AI, it immediately said the signature was Loys. (How did it do that??) So I definitely think it must be Christian Loys as previously suggested. The style seems consistent with the few images of his early work online. I bought it 20 plus years ago in Chatellailon-sur-Mer, near La Rochelle, so if he was roughly in that area a local poster shop might be happy to include it in their stock.

I have just slightly enhanced your upload on my phone so I can see it better.
It is very lovely.

A local print shop could scan it and produce a less faded one for you probably - though it may still be in copyright.


Is it framed?
The border will almost certainly say who printed it. And may have other details such as artist and title.

If the printers is still going they may have links to where you can buy one but either way you may find it on ebay (say) once you know what you are looking for.

🤞
That will

Forget that!! It is nothing like it. Never trust AI

I used Google reverse image and came op with this.

Use Google lens on your phone. On the right end of the google search bar there is a square with rounded corners with a dot in the middle. Click on that and you will be able take a pic of the painting which instantly takes you to info about it.

PS, if you cant find a replacement, an option is to take a good photo of the original - maybe ask a professional - because you or someone for you, should be able to edit the photograph on a computer to make the colours bright again

Its lovely.

If its another poster from the same time, put it up somewhere where there isnt a lot of light, fade wise.

A more modern printed poster probably has less fadeable (sp?) colours, but another tip is to take really good photos of the new poster when it arrives, and you will always be able to re print a copy for yourself.

Thank you all for responding! I think Clairefontaine, Celieanne and Rocketstop2 are on the right track and I will follow up their suggestions.
I agree I don't think it's the El Greco as it really looks more like a Last Supper but possibly an influence.

Really grateful and will let you know how it goes!

It's a beautiful picture

You could contact Loys representatives through his website and enclose that snapshot of your poster, ask if it is one of his and if they know of an outlet still selling them ?

Try Facebook he’s on there in French 😆🌷

I have just looked at the El Greco. It is definitely not that.

Apart from that the faces are those of modern times not medieval. loys seems more likely.
