Louis Desire-lucas - The Meal In A Breton Interior

Louis DESIRE-LUCAS Fort-de-France (Martinique), 1869 - Douarnenez, 1949 Oil on canvas 56 x 45 cm (67 x 56 cm with the frame) Signed and dated lower right "Désiré-Lucas / 1913" Montparnasse frame This very beautiful painting is typical of the interior scenes painted by Louis Désiré-Lucas in the region of Cornouaille in Brittany. Désiré-Lucas is part of the school of Concarneau. Sometimes dark, sometimes light, his painting had a rare sense of matter and his atmospheres knew very well how to convey the atmosphere of life in Brittany at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.
