Ferdinand du Puigaudeau was drawn again and again to the hour when the light changes, and that fascination with dusk, moonlight and low sun is what carries his work so well into counted cross stitch.
He was a French painter, born in 1864 and died in 1930, and his life ran from Nantes at one end to Croisic at the other, never straying far from the coast and marshland of western France. Post-Impressionism gave him his footing, though the subjects were his own: the Brère under a setting sun, the Loire by moonlight, meadows full of flowers at first light. A gust of wind and a sinking sun were enough of a subject for him. He kept returning to the same country and finding something different in it each time.
Other nineteenth-century painters: Cornelis Springer, Carl Frederik Aagaard, and Enrique Serra y Auque.
If it is the painting itself you love rather than the stitching, Ferdinand du Puigaudeau art prints are easy to find.
