Automne en baie de Somme #[nn]

From Philippe Pelaez and Alexis Chabert, this Grand Angle album opens with a cover of quietly breathtaking beauty: a red-haired young woman draped in white, framed within an Art Nouveau medallion adorned with doves and ornamental filigree, while a tall-masted sailing ship rests on the shallows of the Somme Bay below her. The delicate watercolor palette — pale blues, soft golds, and misty coastal light — gives the whole composition the feeling of a half-remembered reverie. A truly lovely piece of French bande dessinée from 2022 that wears its elegance with effortless grace.
