Le château de Culan (Culan Castle); and Le Moulin de la Galette, by Charles Sorlier

Bernard Buffet's stark, expressive style brings the medieval Château de Culan to life with his characteristic bold black outlines and angular forms, capturing the fortress's austere grandeur against a muted palette. Complementing this work, Charles Sorlier's interpretation of Le Moulin de la Galette evokes the iconic Montmartre landmark with a vibrant, celebratory energy. Together, the two works offer a striking contrast between historical solemnity and the lively spirit of Parisian culture.
