George Morren (Belgian, 1868-1941), Le Renouveau, Signed G. Morren and dated 1892 (lower right); signed George Morren, dated Anvers 1892 and titled on the reverse, Oil on canvas, 31 7/8 by 36 1/4 in., Image Source: Sotheby’s

“The dazzling Le Renouveau by the Belgian painter, sculptor and decorative artist George Morren ranks among the most accomplished works of the Neo-Impressionist movement…Shimmering with the light and reflection of the mid-day sun, this springtime scene of a wet nurse with babe-in-arms displays Morren’s talents at their best…Because he was independently wealthy and did not need to sell his art, Morren never gained the prominence of his compatriot and fellow Neo-Impressionist painter Théo van Rysselberghe. Nonetheless, Morren participated in exhibitions with van Rysselberghe, Signac and Seurat, and his compositions of the 1890s rival those of his elite colleagues.”

    A clie to the summer heat lies in her ushed cheeks and dropping eyes… Still dressed in later upon layer, of course ~ we are so terrified of the power of a woman’s skin!
