More about this artwork
"Square de la Mairie du XIVème arrondissement" (1916) by Félix Brard is a delightful impressionist painting that captures a serene moment in a picturesque public garden in Paris. This luminous artwork showcases Brard's mastery of light and his delicate touch with color. The scene is bathed in the warm glow of a sunny day, highlighting the lush greens of the grass and the rich autumnal tones of the trees.The composition of the painting invites the viewer into a leisurely afternoon where figures are scattered relaxedly across the landscape. In the foreground, two children appear to be playing on the grass, while various groups of adults are either seated or strolling in the background, engrossed in conversation or enjoying a quiet moment. A statue on a pedestal stands centrally, suggesting perhaps a local dignitary or cultural figure important to the community, adding a sense of history and permanence to the otherwise ephemeral scene.Brard’s use of watercolor allows for a fluid transparency and an interplay of light and shadow that gives the painting a dreamlike quality. This work not only depicts a physical location but evokes a timeless sense of community and leisure in urban life.
