The artwork titled “Going Home, Brittany” was created by Frank Mason around 1965. Rendered in oil on canvas with dimensions of 76.2 x 91.44 cm, it belongs to the Realism and Classical Realism art movements and is classified as a cityscape.
Presented in this piece is a tranquil, rustic village scene. The muted tones of the sunset sky cast a serene glow over the clustered buildings and cobblestone path. Central to the artwork is a horse-drawn carriage, surrounded by a few figures who seem to be engaged in their evening routines, adding a sense of daily life and movement within the scene. The earthy palette and meticulous brushwork reflect a faithful representation of a moment caught in time, conveying the calm transition from day to dusk. The overall mood is one of quiet nostalgia, encapsulating the essence of returning home at the day’s end in a small Brittany village.
