Label TextDedicated to the sculptor Auguste Rodin (1840–1917), Albert Besnard’s In the Embers combines technical proficiency and richness of atmosphere and detail with an understanding of shadows and light. The flames and smoke, essentially depicted as voids, contribute to the daydream-like ambience, along with the contemplative stare of the young woman.
