la Chapelle
In 1889, Maxime Maufra headed to Pont-Aven where he met Paul Gauguin who became a great friend and inspiration. His painting then found new inspiration, imbued with the symbolic and synthetic aesthetics advocated by the group of artists from Pont-Aven.
In 'la Chapelle' from 1897, we still observe the influence of the precepts of the Pont-Aven School; the line is curved, the colours rather sharp and the low-angle view is in an elongated format.
