The little village in morning, Quimperle
Painting by Henri Le Sidaner (1862-1939). Le Sidaner usually painted with a soft focus that looks like he is painting a dream. When in London or Italy he would paint landmark structures in grand perspective but in France he tended to do close up views, with no horizon visible, of the ordinary and yet beautiful. This is a bright. loving view of the smaller of the towns with similar names, in accord with the artist's tendency to shy away from the well-known and obvious landmarks of his home country. Sadly it appears that the trees have given way to the cars which did not exist when the lines of the town were laid out.
