Les Cygnes

About the Artist

Gaston La Touche was a French painter of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, known for his vibrant use of color and theatrical sense of composition. He blended Impressionist luminosity with Symbolist imagination, creating works that often exuded elegance, festivity, and poetic charm. His paintings frequently depicted refined leisure scenes, mythological motifs, and glowing landscapes bathed in dreamlike atmosphere.
