Gustave Loiseau (French, 1865-1935), La cathédrale de Rouen, signed ‘G Loiseau’ (lower right), oil on canvas 18 1/8 x 15 in. (46 x 38.1 cm.), Painted in 1927, Image Source: Christie’s
Rouen Cathedral has inspired many artists. A very famous painting is by Monet, then there is one by Pissarro and another by William Turner that I really like.
I know that my country, Italy, is the richest nation in masterpieces, but I also feel very close to France, for its music, literature and art 🙂
Of course! My virtual visits to France and Italy are a poor substitution, but someday I hope to see these treasures. You are, indeed, fortunate to live among such masterpieces. 🙂

Yes! All that movement and layered color without a muddy mess – I can only marvel. I wonder how long he worked on it….

Your source has a mistake in the title. The French noun “cathédrale” is feminine, so the first word in the title should be “La.”
