Description: | Signed: yes Description: A deserted square is bordered by houses with green shutters. The space is empty, except for the silhouette of a figure crossing the square. The shadowy foreground is painted in cold colours, reinforcing the impression of desolation. This contrasts with façade, foliage and trees bathed in the warm evening light in the background. The painting, one of Le Sidaner's earliest urban views, reveals rejection of the classical training he had received under Alexandre Cabanel in favour of impressionist technique and interest in light and colour contrasts. Le Sidaner painted the same façade in The Pink Table Cloth, Gerberoy, (1924, private collection, Paris) | Subjects: | buildings and gardens | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Le Sidaner, Henri Eugène (French painter, 1862-1939) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8520... | Go to resource |
