Le Bas-Meudon
School : France
Description
Voyageur et autodidacte, Pelouse fait ses débuts au Salon en 1865 et reçoit une médaille d’or à l’Exposition Universelle de 1889. Coloriste, ses paysages de région parisienne, de Bretagne et de Normandie prennent les accents naturalistes des années 1860. Parfois adepte des touches pures, il reste malgré tout attaché à la réalité du motif. Cette toile a été peinte sur l'Île Seguin, d'où l'on aperçoit la rive gauche de la Seine. Le petit immeuble est l'ancien hôtel du funiculaire et en haut de la colline on aperçoit la masse du grand hôtel de Bellevue construit vers 1885, aujourd’hui CNRS.
