Description:
|
Gauguin moved to Rouen with his wife and four of his five children in January 1884. He had given up his job in the Paris stock-exchange, and made the momentous decision to become a full-time painter. An Orchard under the Church of Bihorel is one of three canvases showing what must have been the orchard of the house he rented, with his children at play. Above them, on a steeply rising hill is the church of Notre-Dame-des-Anges . Stylistically, it reflects Pissarro's garden paintings of Pontoise that Gauguin knew intimately. But Gauguin also knew the work of Cézanne: the off-center tree, clearly the lynchpin of the design as well as the echoes of Cézanne's formalist, so-called constructive stroke attest to that.
