Maisons Rouges à Pont-Aven – Roderic O’Conor Collector’s Edition Print

Capture the heat and colour of fin-de-siècle Brittany with this Collector’s Edition reproduction of Maisons Rouges à Pont-Aven (c.1894–95) by Irish artist Roderic O’Conor. Painted en plein air in the famed Pont-Aven artists’ colony, the work’s blazing oranges, russets and greens transform a cluster of simple village houses into a vivid tapestry of light and movement.

About the Artwork

In this rare village scene, O’Conor lets the roofs, chimneys and foliage almost dissolve into pure colour. Sagging eaves and rising rooflines climb the hillside, pushing the sky to the top of the composition and pulling the viewer directly into the heat of a Breton summer’s day. Influences from his friend Paul Gauguin can be felt in the bold palette, while traces of Van Gogh’s “striping” appear in the sky and rooftops – yet the handling is unmistakably O’Conor’s: loose, energetic and deeply painterly.

About the Artist

Roderic O’Conor (1860–1940) was one of the most adventurous Irish painters of his generation. Having settled in Brittany, he became closely associated with Gauguin and the Pont-Aven school, developing a highly individual Post-Impressionist style distinguished by rich impasto, daring colour and expressive mark-making. Works from this Breton period are among his most sought-after, prized for their modern edge and intense atmosphere.
