The self-taught Maxime Maufra drew inspiration for his Post-Impressionist painting from the works of Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley and the artists of the Pont-Aven School such as Gustave Loiseau and Henry Moret. He shared with the Impressionists a preference for light and clarity, but developed his own style of expression. Thus he painted his lyrical landscapes without strong effects, often in delicate but also in strong colours, with which he always wanted to illustrate the beauty of nature. This is also what he does in our painting. With light colours he impressively reproduces the mood of the sunlit river landscape. In doing so, he dissolves the forms through the juxtaposed brushstrokes and creates a multifaceted and contrast-rich colour system on the picture plane, which, when we look at it, comes together in our eye to form a great whole.
