Additional info:
François Gall was an Impressionist painter, highly influenced by Edgar Degas in style and chosen subject matters. He studied at the Royal Academy of Arts in Rome, as well as at the National Academy of Fine Arts in Paris with André Devambez. Gall painted landscapes, portraits, as well as still life. Many of his works depict scenes of modern everyday life in which women perform activities such as shopping, sewing, tending to their children, ballet dancing, or simply at leisure. A distinctive feature of The Square is the way in which the artist used a wide palette of colours to create a vivid and lively atmosphere of the market. Gall was the recipient of many prizes during his lifetime, and most notably of the Chevalier dans L’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, awarded by the French Government. His works were exhibited in Budapest, London, Paris.
