Midnight, 1891. Creator: Jean-Charles Cazin (French, 1841-1901)
Midnight, 1891. This painting depicts Abbeville, a city in northern France famous for its canals and architecture. It lies near the seaport of Boulogne-sur-Mer, Cazins hometown and where he spent the last decades of his life painting the countryside, beaches, and nearby towns. Cazin specialized in landscapes, often influenced by his knowledge of English and Dutch painters. The title, Midnight, and the image itself suggest silence and stillness--Cazins hallmarks--but only rarely did he attain this almost surrealistic atmosphere. Cazin was educated in Paris at the famous Ecole Gratuite de Dessins (Free School of Drawing), an innovative and unorthodox institution teaching drawing from memory. He studied there with fellow artists Henri Fantin-Latour (1836-1904), Auguste Rodin (1840-1917), and Alphonse Legros (1837-1911). They all shared an interest in Symbolism--the movement that sees symbols in reality and perceives reality through symbols

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Midnight, 1891" showcases the artistic brilliance of Jean-Charles Cazin. The painting transports us to Abbeville, a picturesque city in northern France renowned for its enchanting canals and architectural wonders. As a native of Boulogne-sur-Mer, Cazin spent his final years capturing the essence of this region through his brushstrokes. Cazin's expertise lay in landscapes, heavily influenced by the works of English and Dutch painters. In "Midnight" he masterfully conveys an atmosphere of profound silence and stillness that became synonymous with his artistry. This rare almost surrealistic ambiance is achieved through meticulous attention to detail. Educated at Paris' prestigious Ecole Gratuite de Dessins alongside eminent artists such as Henri Fantin-Latour, Auguste Rodin, and Alphonse Legros, Cazin developed a deep appreciation for Symbolism. This movement sought to uncover hidden symbols within reality while perceiving reality itself through symbolic lenses.

It invites viewers into a world where time stands still and contemplation flourishes.
