Carousel at Night at the Fair 1898

Ferdinand du Puigaudeau's "Carousel at Night at the Fair" (1898) captures the lively atmosphere of a French fairground at dusk. The central carousel, with its brightly lit canopy and swirling lights, is the focal point of the composition. The artist's use of color and light evokes a sense of movement and excitement. The scene is populated with figures, their silhouettes merging with the crowd, adding to the overall sense of dynamism. This work showcases Puigaudeau's signature style, which often depicted everyday life and the beauty of ordinary moments.
