    Gustave Loiseau (French, 1865–1935)

    A quiet French village emerges in loose, textured brushstrokes—soft greens and muted blues blurring rooftops into the landscape. The air feels damp, the light diffuse. Something lingers in the way the trees lean slightly, as if caught mid-sway by an unseen breeze.

    Ferdinand du Puigaudeau (French, 1864–1930)

    Lanterns glow above the crowded square, casting warm pools of light on dancing figures. The night air hums with music and laughter, a fleeting celebration caught between shadow and radiance.

    Ferdinand du Puigaudeau (French, 1864–1930)

    Breton women gather in flickering lantern light before the chapel. Their long skirts brush the damp earth as shadows stretch across the stone facade. The glow dances on their white coiffes, turning the evening procession into something between devotion and dream.
