Paul Serusier: The Talisman

Paul Sérusier sojourned in Pont-Aven during the summer of 1888. On his returning to Paris, he showed his young fellow painters, the future Nabis (prophets in Hebrew), what was to become their Talisman. A close observation of the painting allows one to recognize certain elements of the landscape represented: the wood, the transversal path, the row of beech trees on the river bank, and the mill, at the back, on the right. Each of these elements is a stain of color. This masterpiece is now located in the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, France.
