Winter Landscape At The Pond. Paul Eschbach

Paul Eschbach, a great painter of the ports of Brittany, here reveals the intimate part of his artistic sensitivity. He paints many snowy landscapes, especially in winter. He paints snow with the same texture as the thick sails of fishing boats. There is always generosity in Eschbach's pictorial material. Contrasting colors, transparent light, his landscapes are never sad.
