Au Pays de la Mer, 1898
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating triptych by Charles Cottet that takes us on an emotional journey to the coastal region of Brittany in France. This large-scale oil painting, measuring 176x475 cm, is housed at the Musee d'Orsay in Paris. The left panel titled "Ceux qui s'en vont" (Those Leaving) depicts fishermen and sailors preparing to embark on their perilous voyage. Their weathered faces reveal both determination and apprehension as they bid farewell to their loved ones. In the central panel, "Le Repas d'Adieu" (The Farewell Meal), we witness a poignant scene where families gather for one last meal before parting ways. The atmosphere is filled with mixed emotions - sorrowful yet hopeful - as wives and children share this bittersweet moment with their husbands and fathers. On the right panel, "Celles qui restent" (Those Who Remain), we see women patiently waiting for their men's return. The strength and resilience of these women are evident as they carry on with daily life while anxiously anticipating the safe homecoming of their loved ones. Through his masterful brushwork, Cottet captures not only the physicality but also the profound human connections within this fishing community. With its rich symbolism and evocative storytelling, "Au Pays de la Mer" transports viewers to a world where sacrifice, love, and hope intertwine amidst the vastness of the sea
