This major work exemplifies André Morisset’s signature style, characterized by a divided or pointillist brushstroke reminiscent of Neo-Impressionism. The painting captures the delicate light of sunset through subtle gradations, revealing Morisset’s mastery of atmosphere and tonal harmony.

With a strong decorative sensibility, the work reflects influences from Symbolist and Nabis painters, emphasizing meditative landscapes where nature becomes almost a spiritual motif. Tall pines, violet shadowed areas, a shimmering pastel sky, and meticulously rendered foliage demonstrate a refined post-Symbolist aesthetic, highly sought after today among collectors of early 20th-century French painting.

This piece represents the “prolonged fin-de-siècle” style, bridging late 19th-century elegance with the innovation of post-impressionist technique, making it a rare and desirable addition for collectors of Neo-Impressionist and Symbolist landscape art.
