With a great culture of the history of painting – which embraces the Renaissance, French classicism, the aesthetics of the sublime, romanticism, luminism … – Edouard Wolton focuses on the idea of ‘A rationalization of nature, this relationship between landscape and geometry which testifies to the ancestral desire of man to understand and master nature.
