In characteristic Berger style, this mid-century French painting pulses with life, two rowing boats bob gently on shimmering water, reflections dancing under a soft, overcast sky. Palette-knife impasto gives texture to the surface; brushwork and colour highlight light, movement, and atmosphere in equal measure. The landscape feels joyous yet contemplative, the kind that draws you in.
