Gorge de Loup Sur Vence by Chaim Soutine — Fine Art

The title Gorge de Loup Sur Vence names a rocky cut above a French town. Chaim Soutine painted the sort of landscape where the land rises in heavy strokes and the sky holds a deep colour. The fine art print keeps those tones on a matte sheet so the paint feel reads without shine.

You can hang the print on a wall with wooden furniture and let a dark frame settle beside the grain. The paper does not reflect a lamp, so the darker passages stay steady.

A stairwell with one strong bulb shows the uneven paint strokes and the deep sky. From the landing you notice the thick marks and the rough ground of the image.
