DescriptionArmand Seguin was part of the international community of artists who lived and worked in Brittany in the early 1890s. He was a skilful printmaker and taught his friend, the Irish painter Roderic O’Conor the basics of etching. This is one of the largest and most dramatic of Seguin’s prints, this image captures the energy of a violent storm passing over the wild Breton landscape.
