Portrait of Paul Sérusier

1893

Emile Bernard captured his friend and fellow Post-Impressionist Paul Sérusier in this striking 1893 portrait, painted during a trip to Florence. Notice the bold, sweeping strokes of golden ochre and white that define Sérusier's famous beard and intense gaze, a style Bernard helped pioneer alongside Van Gogh and Gauguin. The two artists were part of a tight-knit circle of rebels who wanted to break free from traditional academic art, and this intimate sketch shows the deep creative bond they shared. It's a wonderful glimpse into the bohemian life of late 19th-century artists on the move.
