Rocks by the Loire (2025) Original Oil Painting by ANNE BAUDEQUIN

Auvergne landscape, France.

Near its source, before becoming the majestic river lined with the most beautiful castles of France, the Loire is a river that carves its bed through volcanic mountains, forming wild gorges.

Here, it magnifies the rock through a fascinating interplay. It offers the rock a dark and deep mirror where the raw mass of stone can contemplate itself, doubling its power and its silence. The water also becomes a prism. Transparent, it does not merely show the bottom; it reveals the secret shimmer of the rock. The submerged pebbles come to life with warm and vibrant colors.

Thus, the river sublimates the rock: it anchors its solidity in an imperturbable reflection while adorning it with a shimmering and ephemeral life. It makes it both monumental and precious.

The white finish of the sides of the canvas allows, if you wish, a hanging without a frame.
