1888
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Sainte Azenor de Goelo is a 1888 by Pierre Roche, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a faded poster with a woman standing on a rocky shore. She’s dressed in flowing robes and holds something in her arms. The sky is dark, and the waves crash around her feet. The text at the top reads "SAENT BREIZ" and at the bottom "SANTES AZENOR." The rough, grainy look comes from a technique called gypsograph, where artists draw on plaster. This style was used for posters in the late 1800s. Next, check out the movement: Impressionism.
Pierre Roche (Paris, 2 August 1855 – Paris, 18 January 1922), pseudonym of Pierre Henry Ferdinand Massignon, was a French sculptor, painter, ceramist and medallist.
