ESTEBAN CHARTRAND
View of the island of Cuba
Oil on canvas signed and dated lower right E. Chartrand 1877
76 x 121 cm
A view of Cuba Oil on canvas, 29,9 x 47,6 in.
Born in Cuba, it is with Théodore Rousseau that Chartrand came to learn and familiarize himself with the Barbizon group's way of painting. Perhaps he is also returning to his French origins, which his name suggests? In the forest of Fontainebleau, he discovers the new work of outdoor compositions, the fine attention to the rendering of light, the will to fix in time a form of timelessness in a world that is more and more in motion.
From his years in France, he retains a certain taste for the work of light that he adapts to the tropical climate of his native island.
