Alfred Plauzeau : "bathers Scared By A Hermit"

Alfred Plauzeau (1875-1918) : “Bathers frightened by a hermit”, oil on canvas 54 X 65 cm. Circa 1900, "in its own juice", dirt and small holes. If he was the pupil in Paris of Gérôme, whose influence is felt here in the treatment of bathers, he is best known as a painter from Poitevin who left many paintings on the peasant world as his historical or religious work. fail to eclipse. The academic current often presented works involving nudes in different contexts which only served as a pretext for the Salon. Our canvas is a charming example, the appearance of this hermit causing the panic of this swarm of young bathers… Do not hesitate to ask us by email or telephone for additional information or photos.
