Claudine in a Coral Necklace, oil on canvas (ca. 1955 - 1960) Marcel Dyf (1899–1985), a self-taught French artist, often used his wife and muse, Claudine Godat, to explore the late Impressionist tradition. The composition centers on the vibrant contrast of the coral necklace. While Dyf was influenced by Renoir’s feathered lighting, his mature style used vigorous brushwork to build volume and energy around the subject.

While he inherited the "broken color" technique, his work often features a more solid, sculptural quality. Dyf’s portraits of Claudine are highly sought after by collectors for their "essence of femininity" and his masterful use of color.  Each authentic portrait from this Claudine series is documented in the artist's catalogue raisonné and verified by Claudine Dyf herself. Loc. Private Collection (Sold via Bonhams in 2026). Dim. 61 cm H x 50.2 cm W (24 x 19 3/4 in.).

Paul Cézanne didn't just paint apples. He changed the way artists saw them. In "Still Life with Commode", the table tilts the fruit isn't perfectly round and the perspective refuses to behave. Those choices inspired a new generation of artists including Picasso who famously called Cézanne "the father of us all". Sometimes a bowl of apples can change art history. Quelle: meisterdrucke.com

Georges Lacombe's "The Violet Wave" isn't a peaceful seascape. The deep violet water curls around dark rocks with surprising force, while only a little warm ochre light remains at the edges. Painted around 1895, the work reflects the Nabi artists' belief that color could express emotion as strongly as a story. It's the kind of painting that deserves space to breathe and rewards every second you spend with it. Quelle: meisterdrucke.com

Van Gogh painted "The Dance Hall in Arles" in 1888, filling the room with bright yellow gas lamps and crowds of people. Instead of carefully painting every face, he used bold colors and quick brushstrokes to capture the feeling of music, movement and heat. Like "Café Terrace at Night", this painting shows Van Gogh experimenting with light. The glowing lamps become the center of the scene, turning an ordinary dance hall into something full of energy and life. The original is in the Musée d'Orsay.

Van Gogh couldn't stop painting cypresses. During his stay at the asylum in Saint-Rémy, he wrote to Theo about their flame-like shapes, convinced they deserved the same attention artists gave to sunflowers and wheat fields. In "But Green", a dark cypress rises from a swirling yellow field, cutting through the landscape like a living flame. Van Gogh painted more than 150 works during his year at Saint-Paul-de-Mausole and the cypress became one of his most persistent motifs. A small surprise - this painting isn't in Amsterdam or Paris but in the National Gallery in Prague. Quelle: meisterdrucke.com

Vincent van Gogh painted "Walk at Twilight" while living at the asylum in Saint-Rémy. Despite the circumstances, some of his brightest and most hopeful paintings came from this period. The crescent moon hangs above the landscape while a dark cypress rises at the left edge of the scene. Van Gogh returned to both motifs again and again. The real drama, though, is in the color, cool blue hills set against a glowing saffron sky. He believed colors could carry emotion directly and here the contrast does exactly that. The painting seems to vibrate between calm and intensity. Quelle: meisterdrucke.com
