More about this artwork

This delightful painting titled "Village by the Sea in Brittany" by Odilon Redon captures the serene and picturesque essence of a coastal village in Brittany, France. The artwork features a calm seascape and a cluster of quaint, rustic buildings that line the shore. The buildings, painted in earthy tones, contrast beautifully with the bright and expansive blue sky above and the clear azure water that touches the sandy beach in the foreground.The texture and brushwork are notable, with visible strokes conveying the roughness of the architecture and the smoothness of the sea and sky. The play of light and subtle reflections on the water add depth and realism to the scene. Redon's choice of perspective invites the viewer to admire both the simplicity of the village life and the vast, soothing expanse of the sea, illustrating a harmonious blend of nature and habitation.Overall, Redon's painting exudes a sense of peace and timelessness, enticing one to ponder the tranquil life by the sea in the beautiful region of Brittany.

Odilon Redon was a French symbolist painter, printmaker, draughtsman and pastellist. Early in his career, both before and after fighting in the Franco-Prussian War, he worked almost exclusively in charcoal and lithography, works referred to as noirs. 

During the 1890s he began working in pastel and oils, which quickly became his favourite medium, abandoning his previous style of noirs completely after 1900. He also developed a keen interest in Hindu and Budhist religion and culture, which increasingly showed in his work.

He is perhaps best known today for the "dreamlike" paintings created in the first decade of the 20th century, which were heavily inspired by Japanese art and which, while continuing to take inspiration from nature, heavily flirted with abstraction. His work is considered a precursor to both Dadaism and Surrealism.
