Pelouse was an exceptional French landscape painter. He was not an innovator of new styles but his works are distinguished by exceptional brushwork and a realist manner of interpreting the subtleties of light and tonalities within the landscape.
This sweeping landscape present an ethereal meditation on pastoral life. Pelouse was an exceptional French landscape painter. He was not an innovator of new styles but his works are distinguished by exceptional brushwork and a realist manner of interpreting the subtleties of light and tonalities within the landscape. He distinguishes ground from sky in a manner centered on texture and tone, creating earth and atmosphere that appear as dreamily idyllic as they do realistic.
