Description: | Signed: yes Description: Although inspired by nature, Le Sidaner was chose not to transcribe what he saw, instead he searched for an appropriate language with which to reveal what he felt was the essence of a scene, seeking something eternal and universal. Across the moonlit cobbled square looms a tall slim statue, perched on a high plinth and surrounded by low railings. Although it is difficult to make out, the frontal view suggests the figure of a man, perhaps riding a horse. The square is deserted, the many doors and the shuttered windows all closed, all in darkness, but it is not empty. It is bathed in silence. | Subjects: | townscape; 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=8805... | Go to resource |
