Post-impressionism

A large building topped by a dome held aloft by classical pillars dominates this brightly lit city scene. The building extends from the right edge of the canvas. On the left, a clear blue skills fills the area above a church with a large bell tower and a section of yellow cobblestones partially filled by a number of pedestrians.

Notre-Dame, une fin d'après-midi (A Glimpse of Notre Dame in the Late Afternoon) ,
A landscape of recently cleared fields and grass covered hills beneath a sunny blue sky filled with white clouds fills this horizontally oriented painting. In the bottom left foreground, a woman holding a basket in her right hand watches as a man thrusts a shovel into the ground. A horse-drawn wagon approaches in the distance, and a child sits in the field toward the right edge of the painting. The entire scene is rendered in individual dots of paint in deep blue, violet, green, orange, and other shades.

Sunlight streams into a living room from open floor to ceiling windows on the left-hand side of this painting. A man sits with his back to the window, facing a child who stands slightly to the right of the image’s center on the room’s red-and-white striped carpet. A table with a decorative urn, a patterned curtain behind the child, and the rest of the room’s furnishings are also largely in shades of white and red with blue accents. The entire scene is painted in rough, loose brushstrokes.
