Get ready to embark on an enchanting journey through Normandy, a region steeped in history and characterized by captivating landscapes. This masterpiece brings together the talented watercolor paintings of Fabrice Moireau and the words of writer Olivier Frébourg.
Normandy ranks as the world’s second most famous region, and for good reason. Throughout the ages, this land has been coveted by numerous invaders. From the Romans to the Vikings, and later from the English to the Germans, the region has witnessed numerous conflicts. Nevertheless, it has managed to preserve a natural and architectural heritage of immense richness.
Whether it’s lush forests, the white chalk cliffs of the Alabaster Coast, or the Mont-Saint-Michel Bay, Normandy continues to fascinate people from all walks of life. Enchanted by its unique characteristics, Fabrice Moireau has skillfully captured the essence of its natural landscapes in breathtaking watercolor paintings. This work brings together 150 original drawings and watercolors representing the five departments that make up Normandy. Elevated by the accompanying texts, the paintings convey the richness of the eras and influences that have shaped this region.
Allow yourself to be charmed by this land of contrasts, legends, and history in “Normandie aquarelles.”
Fabrice Moireau, born in 1962, graduated from the National School of Applied Arts and Crafts. From his numerous travels, he brings back sketchbooks that serve as cultural and ethnographic testimonies. Passionate about architecture, gardens, and plants in general, his ambition is to convey, through watercolors, the subtlety of the play of light and the atmosphere of a street or landscape.
Olivier Frébourg, born in Dieppe in 1965, is a writer, accomplished journalist, and publisher, with more than a dozen novels and essays to his name. In 1989, he was awarded the Prix des Deux Magots.
Normandy and the sea are at the core of his work, and he has been recognized as one of the “Écrivains de marine” (Writers of the Sea) since 2004.
