Twilight 1896

"Twilight" (1896) by Maxime Maufra is a captivating depiction of a coastal scene at dusk. The painting showcases Maufra's signature style, characterized by bold brushstrokes and a focus on capturing the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere. The village nestled along the shoreline appears as a silhouette against the fiery sunset, with a sense of tranquility and quietude emanating from the composition. This work is a prime example of Maufra's mastery of depicting the beauty of the natural world, particularly the ethereal glow of twilight.
