Quentin Monge paints summer in Provence

-
Giulia Guido

As we prepare to face a long, cold and difficult winter, the memory of the summer that has just passed and yet so far away still keeps us company every day.
Even the illustrator Quentin Monge seems not yet ready to say goodbye to the summer season and continues to make us dream with his illustrations that take us to Provence in the middle of August.

Quentin Monge, who was born in this region of France, manages perfectly to capture all its aspects. The été has never been so close at hand: the more we glide through his paintings the more we are enveloped by the sea breeze, we feel the wind gently moving the branches of the maritime pines, in front of our eyes the white cliffs above reflect in the water and the metallic noise of the pétanque’s bowls mark the endless days.

Even the color palette adapts to the atmosphere. We note, in fact, that the bright tones typical of Quentin Monge’s work leave room for calmer, more neutral nuances. Everything from shapes, subjects and colors creates a balance and a sense of relaxation that first captures our eyes and then our soul.

Take five minutes to enjoy a summer in Provence.
