French Art

  • La Danse (1877)

    La Danse (1877)

    Édouard Frédéric Wilhelm Richter (French, 1844–1913)

    A whirl of skirts and laughter, figures caught mid-step in a lively country dance. The energy pulses through the scene—boots tapping, hands clasped, faces flushed with motion. It’s not just a dance; it’s the sheer joy of movement frozen in time.

  • The Proposal (1878)

    The Proposal (1878)

    Adrien Moreau (French, 1843–1906)

    A young woman stands frozen, her gloved fingers clutching a fan. The man bends forward, words unspoken but heavy in the air between them. Silk rustles, the room holds its breath—one heartbeat before her answer changes everything.

  • Dans le Brouillard (late 19th-early 20th century)

    Dans le Brouillard (late 19th-early 20th century)

    Henri Martin (French, 1860–1943)

    Mist curls through the trees, softening edges into whispers of green and gray. The world dissolves into layers of quiet—a hush where light barely breaks through. No horizon, only the slow fade of branches into fog. France breathes here, unseen but thick in the air.

  • Une allée dans le Parc du Château de Versailles

    Une allée dans le Parc du Château de Versailles

    Henri Martin (French, 1860–1943)

    Dappled light filters through the trees lining the gravel path, casting shifting patterns on the ground. The alley stretches toward the distant château, its symmetry softened by loose brushstrokes that blur the boundary between garden and sky. A quiet moment in Versailles, where sunlight and shadow dance across the grand promenade.

  • Self Portrait (1896)

    Self Portrait (1896)

    Camille Pissarro (French, 1830–1903)

    A bearded face emerges from loose brushstrokes, eyes steady beneath a hat’s shadow. Warm tones blend into the background, dissolving edges between figure and air. The gaze holds quiet intensity, neither confronting nor retreating—just present.

  • Blumenstrauß in brauner Tonvase (ca. 1900 – 1916)

    Blumenstrauß in brauner Tonvase (ca. 1900 – 1916)

    Odilon Redon (French, 1840–1916)

    A loose bouquet spills from a brown vase, petals soft yet vibrant against the muted tones. The flowers seem to hover between dream and decay, their delicate forms dissolving at the edges. Something lingers beneath the surface—not just blossoms, but whispers of color and shadow.

  • L’avant-Port De Dieppe, Après-Midi, Temps Lumineux (1902)

    L’avant-Port De Dieppe, Après-Midi, Temps Lumineux (1902)

    Camille Pissarro (French, 1830–1903)

    A vibrant harbor scene alive with light, movement, and the quiet hum of coastal life.

    Félix Ziem (French, 1821–1911)

    A warm, glowing view of Venice’s peaceful surroundings.
