Gustave Loiseau
Gustave Loiseau (1865–1935) was a French post-Impressionist painter known for his landscapes and scenes of rural France. Born in Paris, Loiseau studied at the École des Beaux-Arts and became associated with the group of painters who followed the Impressionists. Loiseau developed a distinctive style of "cross-hatching," where short, crisscrossing brushstrokes created texture and depth in his paintings. His work frequently focused on the countryside, particularly along the banks of the Seine and in Normandy, where he captured the changing seasons and effects of light.
Loiseau’s post-Impressionist style built upon the innovations of artists like Claude Monet, yet his technique was uniquely his own. His serene landscapes convey a deep connection to nature and a mastery of color and composition. Today, Loiseau's works are held in numerous collections, including the Musée d'Orsay in Paris and the Art Institute of Chicago.
