Villaggio sul mare in Bretagna

Odilon Redon, circa 1880

This painting depicts a coastal scene overlooking a quiet shore. At the bottom of the painting, an open sandy expanse leads to blue waters. On the other side of the water, to the left of the painting, is another shoreline with several small white and brown buildings. The buildings have pointed roofs, arched doors, and small chimneys. The sky behind the building is the same bright blue as the water, and on the right is the vague outline of a mountain range in light purple. The brushstrokes are soft and loose, and are especially visible in the shore, water, and sky.
