Charles Cottet, master of Post-Impressionism and the Bande noire

Charles Cottet, active at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, establishes himself as a major figure of dark naturalism and the Bande noire, a group gathered around an emphatic palette and a taste for scenes of everyday life, often maritime or rural. Influenced by realism and masters who valued the truth of the subject, Cottet favors austere compositions and rich color density over decorative éclat. Among his works, one recognizes fidelity to the Breton world and popular rites, rendered with great humanity. This art print of Le Deuil follows this lineage: it restores the expressive strength and authenticity that characterize Charles Cottet's art.
