Paul-Albert Besnard (1849-1934) Crossing the Bridge (1885) Baltimore Museum of Art

Besnard var en stor virtuos, han uppnådde lysande framgångar i olika tekniker som; akvarell, pastell, olja och etsning. Han utförde både i porträtt, landskapet och inredning. Hans ingående analys av ljus kan studeras i hans bild "La femme qui se chauffe" i Luxembourg i Paris och i nakenstudier till exempel "Une Nymphe au bord de la mer". En stor panel, "Fred genom skiljedom", slutfördes sju dagar före krigsutbrottet 1914.

When Laureano was 47 he came to the island of Ibiza. Enraptured by the charm and beauty of the island he resolved to make it his home. He settled with his wife in the town of Santa Eulalia del Rio where he painted what is considered his best work full of light and colour. He remained in Santa Eulalia for the rest of his life. He died in 1957 at the age of 94 and is buried in the cemetery in Santa Eulalia. Ref. Wikipedia
