EDITORS COMMENTS
Falaise by Night: A Moment of Respite in Normandy, Circa 1917 This evocative painting captures the enchanting scene of Falaise's cobbled street area in Normandy, northwestern France, illuminated only by the soft glow of street lamps and shop windows. The tranquil tableau unfolds as families gather around a water fountain, their silhouettes cast long shadows against the cool, cobblestone ground. The muted colors of the painting transport us back in time, inviting us to imagine the simple pleasures of an evening stroll through this charming European town. The painting, titled "Falaise by Night," is believed to have been created circa 1917. The artist, whose identity remains unknown, masterfully captures the essence of this quaint, historic town, which has stood the test of time for centuries. The scene is reminiscent of a quiet moment in the lives of the townspeople, a brief respite from their daily routines. This image was originally published in a magazine, likely in a volume from November, and can be found in the extensive collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, known as the March of the Women Collection. The painting offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to appreciate the timeless beauty of a European town and the simple joys of community and family.
