The Banks of the Rance, Brittany possibly 1785 Pierre Henri de Valenciennes French This study is the product of one of the earliest known plein-air painting excursions on the Channel coast. With a painterly sensibility honed by the direct observation of nature, Valenciennes sketched the light, atmosphere, and swiftly moving water at the mouth of the river Rance. This exercise was intended to train his eye and hand to capture such fleeting effects so that he could draw from the experience when painting in the studio. The investigatory spirit of Valencienness sketches, painted in France and Italy, mark them as signal achievements of the Enlightenment.. The Banks of the Rance, Brittany 438677
