About the piece

Created in 1891, this luminous work by Émile Bernard is a masterclass in the Post-Impressionist style. 'Les Amoureux' (The Lovers) depicts a couple reclining in a dreamlike landscape where the world is rendered in rhythmic, textured strokes of gold, green, and soft blue. The painting captures the intimate energy between the figures while celebrating the decorative potential of light and color.
