From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Voyages pittoresques et romantiques dans l'ancienne France: Bretagne: Dolmen de Parc-ar-Colmen is a 1845 by Eugène Ciceri, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a moss-covered dolmen standing alone in a misty field. The stones look heavy and old, yet delicate too. A lone figure crouches nearby, tiny against the ancient rocks. Cicéri traveled France to record fading landmarks like this. The soft light makes the scene feel quiet and timeless. If you like calm, old places, check out Caspar David Friedrich’s work.
Étienne Eugène Cicéri (27 January 1813 – 20 April 1890) was a French painter, illustrator, engraver and theatrical designer.
