At Sunnyside – Where Truth and Beauty Meet

Frederick Carl Frieseke: The Yellow Room

“In The Yellow Room Frieseke fused bold color juxtapositions and careful formal design, bringing together the qualities he most admired in the work of Monet and Whistler.

Paul Gauguin: Pêcheur et baigneurs sur l’Aven

“Painted in late summer of 1888, Paul Gauguin’s Pêcheur et baigneurs sur l’Aven depicts a fisherman and several intrepid bathers on the shallow banks of the River Aven in Brittany.

Gautier Capucon: Thais Meditation

“Painted in 1876, Dans la prairie dates from the time that Claude Monet spent in Argenteuil, a pool of rural calm and beauty within easy reach of Paris.
