Voyages pittoresques et romantiques dans l'ancienne France. Bretagne: Morlaix is a 1845 by Eugène Ciceri, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This image depicts a narrow, cobblestone street in the old town of Morlaix, Brittany, France. The scene is set in the mid-19th century, with people dressed in period clothing walking along the street or sitting at a table. The buildings on either side of the street are tall and closely packed, with steeply pitched roofs and multiple stories. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer's eye down the street. The overall mood is one of quiet activity, with people going about their daily business. To learn more about the artistic style and techniques used in this painting, explore the Romanticism movement.
Étienne Eugène Cicéri (27 January 1813 – 20 April 1890) was a French painter, illustrator, engraver and theatrical designer.
