La Terrasse du Café du Glacier, Léon Joseph Voirin, 1882.
Medium: Oil Paint
Style: Impressionist
Enjoy this painting of an outdoor café in 1880s Paris while visiting Wabash's own downtown coffee shop! Léon Joseph Voirin and his twin brother Jules-Antoine built successful careers as French genre painters-- meaning they drew inspiration from everyday experiences in France. Voirin paints within the Impressionist movement, which is seen in his use of brushstroke and color to capture the warm light of a Parisian morning and his attention to urban, everyday people.
