Le Puy is a 1894 ink by Joseph Pennell, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a serene landscape of a town nestled in the mountains. The town is situated in a valley, surrounded by rolling hills and towering mountains in the background. In the foreground, a winding road leads to the town, flanked by trees and buildings. The painting features a range of earthy tones, with shades of brown, green, and gray dominating the palette. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of movement and energy. The artist's use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the painting, creating a sense of atmosphere and mood. For more information on the artist's technique, look up etching.
