More about this artwork
Maximilien Luce's vibrant 1920 painting, "Rolleboise, Baignade dans le Petit Bras de la Seine," captures a serene, almost idyllic summer day at a quiet bend in the Seine River near Rolleboise, a picturesque locale in France renowned for its enchanting natural scenery. This artwork is notable for its vivid Expressionist touches matched with Impressionistic sensibilities, which together create a lively yet peaceful riverside scene.In the painting, a group of figures is seen blissfully bathing in the refreshing waters of the Seine. They are portrayed with soft yet dynamic brush strokes that reflect the leisurely pace and the cooling escape that the water offers from the summer heat. Gentle ripples surround the bathers, suggesting movement and the soothing nature of the water.Overlooking the bathers is an array of lush, verdant trees and a vibrant carpet of grass and wildflowers that suggest the richness of the season. The varying shades of green, dotted with pink and yellow hues from the blooming flowers, boast Luce’s skillful use of color and light, encapsulating the essence of a summer day. The painter's strokes animate the foliage, making the scene seem breezy and alive.
