Danish painter Marie Luplau was one of a number of Scandinavians living in Pont-Aven at the end of the 19th century. She studied under Peter Vilhelm Kyhn (1819-1903) and completed her training at the Academie Colarossi in Paris. She had a preference for landscape painting, and made sketches from life which she transformed into oil paintings in her studio. Several years before Paul Serusier and Emile Bernard, she painted the Bois d’Amour and its lane of beech trees in a highly-detailed, realist style in the spirit of the Barbizon school
