Village by the Sea in Brittany c. 1880

"Village by the Sea in Brittany" is a painting by French symbolist artist Odilon Redon, painted around 1880. The work depicts a simple scene of a village nestled along the coast of Brittany, with a peaceful stretch of water in the foreground and a bright blue sky above. The painting is known for its muted colors, with subtle shifts in tone, and its overall sense of tranquility, a characteristic of Redon's later work. This piece is a departure from his earlier focus on charcoal drawings and demonstrates his evolving artistic style.
