After Rain 1897

Alexis Jean Fournier's 1897 oil painting "After Rain" is a serene landscape depicting a verdant forest edge bordering a still pond. The artist, known for his landscapes and intimate portrayals of nature, captures the aftermath of a rainfall, with the ground reflecting the soft light of the overcast sky. The dense, dark green foliage contrasts with the luminous reflections in the pond, creating a sense of peace and tranquility. This painting is a fine example of Fournier's talent for capturing the beauty and quietude of the natural world.
