The Pines in Morgat

Henri Rivière French

Not on view

In the 1890s, Rivière began visiting Brittany annually and the distinctive landscape of the area became the primary subject for his art for the remainder of his career. He returned to the village of Morgat on the Crozon peninsula often over the years, producing many watercolors of seemingly every aspect of the coastal landscape: cliffs, beaches, rocks, fields, and woods. This view of pines is representative of his late style of working in which he laid down the composition thoroughly in pencil before adding watercolor within the graphite lines.
