About this work

Notre Dame du Folgoet is a painting by Pierre Roche. It's a work from the late 19th or early 20th century, blending Realism and Impressionism styles. The artist's use of Gypsograph medium is notable, as it's not a commonly used technique, but I don't know much about it. You can learn more about Impressionism at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
