About the piece
Created in 1894, 'Celtic Tale' is a signature work by Paul Sérusier, a leading figure of the Les Nabis movement. The painting rejects traditional perspective in favor of flat patches of bold, symbolic color, creating a mystical atmosphere that draws on the artist's fascination with Breton and Celtic folklore. The luminous yellow hillside contrasts sharply with the deep, grounding tones of the foreground, creating a powerful visual narrative of the intersection between the spiritual and physical worlds.
