Barge on the Seine - Alexandre JACOB (1876-1972)

In this oil on pannel, Alexandre Jacob, offers us here, a very beautiful painting in the impressionist movement, with a lively touch, with a warm light and beautiful color contrasts.

The framing is very inspired by photography, the perspective used invites us to enter the painting, to take this dirt road to admire this vision all in color of an industrial landscape.
