1906, Georges Braque, Paysage à L'Estaque -- National Gallery of Ireland (Dublin)
From the museum label: Braque visited the fishing village of L'Estaque in the autumn of 1906. It was his first trip to the south of France. The vibrant light and colour had an immediate impact on Braque's art. He said: 'It's there that I felt all the elation, all the joy, welling up inside me. Just imagine, I left the drab, gloomy Paris studios where you were still working in bitumen. There, by contrast, what a revelation, what a blossoming!'
