This hall contains landscapes and genre scenes in the bosom of nature by Louis Valtat (1869–1952). The earliest of the paintings, Young Women in the Garden, was made around 1898, the latest, Sunlight under the Trees, around 1908–09. The energetic brushwork and dynamic texture of the canvases are a reminder of the influence on this artist of Neo-Impressionism and Van Gogh. At the same time, his art is also akin to the work of the Nabis group. Valtat’s bright palette indicates a tendency towards intense colours that lay at the basis of Fauvism.
