Ravier François Auguste Impressionist Landscape 19th Century Rt1170

Oil on paper mounted on cardboard representing a landscape at dusk, a favorite subject of the artist who excels in the play of shadows and light.
The sky, a source of light, is thus the main element of his work. On this subject he declared "Everything is in the sky, the clouds and the atmosphere intoxicate me, it is the inexhaustible, it is the infinite"
