The Signal Tower 1911

Maxime Maufra's 1911 painting, "The Signal Tower," depicts a white, rounded building topped with a windmill, which appears to be partly damaged. The building stands against a backdrop of verdant grass with patches of yellow flowers, while a cerulean body of water peeks out in the distance. The sky is painted with a soft lavender hue, adding a sense of tranquility to the scene. The use of impasto in the paint creates a textured and atmospheric effect. Maufra was a prominent French artist who captured the beauty of his local region in his paintings.
