charles théophile angrand

i love the impressionist painters' work. especially the pointillists who brought us that much closer to the final fracturing of colour into its essence.
charles théophile angrand, was born in criquetot-sur-ouville in normandy, france on april 19th 1854. angrand practiced pointillism early on, but his friends georges seurat and paul signac influenced him with their own take on impressionism - neo-impressionism - and the strong contrasts and pure hues of that style appeared in much of his later work.

this painting is so rich with the feeling, smell and sounds of rain. i could almost walk into it and feel right at home.
