Flaneurs
A couple stand outside the entrance of a cathedral, observing something unseen to us. French poet Charles Baudelaire first used the word ‘flaneur’ to describe an observer of modern urban life. Today, it is used for those who wander, without purpose, around the streets of Paris, soaking up the things they pass by, the sounds, the smells and the sights. This original work is painted on a fine textured, professionally stretched box canvas, using Michael Harding and Old Holland artist quality oils and mediums and finished with a light satin varnish.
