La Source
Step into this lush, circular window into nature, where dappled sunlight filters through tall, towering trees to illuminate a quiet stone bridge over a stream. François-Auguste Ravier, a French painter who was close friends with early Impressionists like Renoir and Sisley, captures the fleeting atmosphere of the forest with loose, energetic brushstrokes that feel almost alive. Notice the bright red signature tucked into the bottom right corner—it’s a bold little stamp on this serene, almost secret garden scene that hints at the revolutionary Impressionist style to come.
