Crémieu, Seen from Chaillonnette

François-Auguste Ravier

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a landscape with a body of water in the foreground. The water is green and brown with visible brushstrokes. A dark land mass or cliffside is on the left. On the right is a tall tree with a building behind it. The sky above is cloudy and gray, with shades of orange, blue, and brown. The overall color palette is dark and muted, with earthy tones dominating the scene. The brushstrokes are visible and textured, giving the painting a rough, impressionistic quality. The scene appears to be a view of Crémieu, a town in France, seen from Chaillonnette. It was painted by François-Auguste Ravier.
