![Gustave Loiseau - Poplars along the Eure (Peupliers au bord de l’Eure) [1903]](http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7650/17250713012_d129e67a5b_o.jpg)
Gustave Loiseau’s Peupliers au bord de l'Eure is a wonderful evocation of the French countryside. In his landscapes, Loiseau (1865 - 1935) often experimented with a high horizon line and created a number of paintings dominated by wild vegetation. The present work’s rich surface, composed using spontaneous brushwork and areas of thickly applied paint, exemplifies the artist's instinctive use of Impressionist and Neo-Impressionist techniques which he derived from his close relationship with Claude Monet.
