Summary/Abstract: The connection between Impressionist painting and Maupassant's work is a particularly attractive object of study – and more than one has succumbed to it. However, it is important to beware of the purely thematic links (water and its reflections, worship of the outdoors, leisure activities such as canoeing) between these two art forms or of the fascination for a colourful, luminous palette that changes with the seasons and hours of the day. The Maupassantian approach in the evocation of places always exceeds the notation of sensation. Moreover, what can we do with the large number of aesthetic and technical questions that impressionist painters tried to answer?
