LOISEAU
No Post-Impressionist painter embodied the doctrine of painting directly from nature more ardently than GUSTAVE LOISEAU. His oeuvre consists of images, or impressions, that LOISEAU observed firsthand and depicted with a loose but vibrant brushstroke and a bright, high-keyed palette. Often the same view afforded a multitude of interpretations if observed at varying times of the day or during seasonal changes of the year.

Dieppe is an ancient port on the northern coast of France in the region of Normandy. With the widespread development of railroads in the 1860s and 1870s, regions such as Brittany and Normandy became accessible from Paris for tourists and artists. The northern coasts of France were particularly appealing to the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists due to their soft diffusive light, picturesque ports, and dramatic landscapes and cliff sides. 11
