This French studio made night scenes of quiet loneliness in the 1880s, part of a broader turn toward quiet realism after the bright Impressionist sun. Try Lemercier & Cie’s 1886 oil The Man Was Alone in a Night Landscape, where a single figure walks a dim path toward distant lights—small human scale against vast dark sky. Slide over to the same dim glow to see how the scene shifts when you move closer.
