Albert Samain Post Mortem 1900

Eugene Carriere's "Albert Samain Post Mortem" from 1900 is a striking depiction of a figure in repose. The hazy, monochromatic palette, characteristic of Carriere's style, evokes a sense of mystery and tranquility. The subject, likely the poet Albert Samain, is rendered with soft, blurred edges, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. This piece embodies Carriere's signature "Clair-obscur" technique, where light and shadow merge, creating a sense of depth and emotion.
