Breton harbour 1879

Odilon Redon's "Breton Harbour" from 1879 depicts a serene landscape with a distant town overlooking a harbor. The painting showcases Redon's early exploration of Impressionism with its focus on light and color. The soft, hazy brushstrokes convey the atmosphere of a tranquil evening, creating a sense of peace and stillness. This work is a departure from Redon's later, more symbolic and mystical paintings, showcasing his versatility and ability to capture the beauty of everyday scenes.
