Albert Regagnon, French (1874-1961)
Regagnon received many honors for his body of painting during his long and productive career, and exhibited regularly at the Paris Salons. Regagnons’ fascination for the Barbizon painters is demonstrated in this painting with his use of a variation of lush greens, filtered light and subtle shadows The artist’s application of short brush strokes of color combines to create an uneven texture of the painted surface, as well as the overall tranquility of the painting
