EDITORS COMMENTS
Depart, le coup de vent" (Depart, the gust of wind), painted by Jean Louis Forain around the turn of the 20th century, captures a moment of transient beauty and the capricious nature of the wind. The painting depicts a woman in a vibrant, flowing red dress and a young girl in a blue frock, both braced against the gusts of wind as they leave a picturesque French village. The rich colors of their clothing stand out against the muted tones of the countryside, with the woman's hat billowing in the breeze and the girl's hair flying free. The painting is a testament to the enduring allure of French fashion and the charm of rural life during the early 1900s. The women's clothing, with their high collars and voluminous skirts, reflect the elegant and refined sensibilities of the era. The canvas material, with its visible brushstrokes and textured surface, adds to the painting's tactile and immersive quality. This oil painting is a cherished addition to the collections of many prestigious museums in Paris, including the Petit Palais, where it can be appreciated by visitors from around the world. The painting's timeless appeal and evocative depiction of a windy day make it a beloved piece of French heritage art, and a reminder of the simple pleasures and beauty of a bygone era.
