Plateau Bromont at Pontgibaud (Puy de Dôme) 1890

"Plateau Bromont at Pontgibaud (Puy de Dôme)" is an 1890 oil painting by French artist Armand Guillaumin. The painting depicts a rural landscape with haystacks in the foreground and a hazy vista of the surrounding countryside in the background. Guillaumin was a member of the French Impressionist movement and was known for his bold, colorful landscapes. This piece embodies the movement's commitment to capturing the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere. The painting uses vibrant colors and thick brushstrokes to evoke a sense of warmth and serenity. Guillaumin's characteristic use of color and dynamic composition are particularly evident in the depiction of the haystacks, which dominate the foreground and are rendered in a range of hues.
