Pupil of Albert Maignan, Paul Pascal was a painter of genre, animated landscapes as well as seascapes. He painted Finistère and Cornouaille (Douarnenez, Concarneau, Pont-Aven, Morgat, Sainte-Anne-La-Palud…). He appeared at the Salon of French Artists from 1894 to 1939.
Our painting is a view of Kersaint beach near Landunvez. A couple is present in the foreground, a seated man and a woman from behind. They seem to be resting or waiting to go home, after a day of collecting seaweed.
Kersaint is the land of the Abers and the coast of legends. It is said that Saint Haude, sister of Saint Tanguy, is buried at Landunvez, and that her tomb is there in great veneration. This commune is enriched by sea fertilizers. In the 19th century, more than 2,000 cubic meters of kelp were harvested there each year.
Maurice Guillemot in his book Villégiatures d'artistes speaks of Kersaint in these terms in 1897: "It's further than Brest, over there at the end of France, an unknown village where, under the care of an old dismantled castle, horses live freely in the meadows; the inhabitants, who do not speak French, are of a race of sailors, and have, like those of the other shore in England, this passion, intoxication; they get terribly drunk on wood spirits sold in ports by Germans; nevertheless gentle, inoffensive, boorish beings, peasants of Millet, transplanted to the edge of the ocean.
