Lhermitte paintings on Geocoded Art

Leaving the Saint-Melaine Church in Morlaix





Painting by Leon Augustin L'hermitte (1844 -1925). L'Hermitte's work focused on daily life and on those who do the work which must be done everyday. Only occasionally was the backdrop recognizable, and here the focus was so great on life at the street level that the artist does not include the great steeple. The return to daily life can wait for these church-goers. Stone for stone this place is today just as the artist saw it, neither has the pace changed.
