Gilles Le Guen and Maïté Bouchard explore the Marquesas Islands in this superb collection created for the Manufacture des Emaux de Longwy 1798.
Warmth and colours compose the paintings where we discover a marvellous, soothing and serene nature.
A legend reveals the creation of these islands by the two gods Oatea 'Light of day' and Atanua 'Light of dawn'. The luminosity of the scenery seems to match the legend.
