"Louis Le Poittevin (1847-1909) Cows In The Meadow In Front Of The Pond"
Oil on canvas signed lower leftLouis Le Poittevin was born in 1847 in Neuville. Poittevin is a French artist whose painting is solid and vigorous. In his works, the landscape is always studied with balance and the measured light gives the canvas an almost melancholic atmosphere. Coming from a family of scholars, Poittevin's father was a poet friend of Flaubert and his cousin was Guy De Maupassant. His most famous work is the Spider's Web which represents a winter landscape where frost and snow form tangled silk threads on the bushes purchased by the Reims museum.
