Artwork description

This canvas, characteristic of Puigaudeau’s post-Impressionist idiom, captures a suspended moment at the hour when day gives way to evening. The scene is bathed in a vibrant twilight light: the sky, nuanced with mauves, pinks, and deep blues, gently ignites as the last rays of the sun brush the treetops. Slender silhouettes stand out gracefully, as if cut from the air itself, while the water reflects the final glimmers of light in golden and silvery veils. This mastery of contrasts between warm and cool areas - rooted in Impressionism yet elevated by a more structured and expressive approach - perfectly illustrates Puigaudeau’s modern sensibility.Read more
