Legend
When reading the notes of Léon Dardenne, you realise to what extent the artist expected to encounter exuberant vegetation, imagining dugout canoes on the banks of the river, exotic visions as described in the travel literature of the time. The vegetation along this source enabled him to paint nature in the wild, the "Africa of the images", the world of contrasts that he expected.
