"Sunset on the Grande Brière" (French: "Coucher de Soleil sur la Grande Brière") is an oil painting created in 1926 by French artist Ferdinand Loyen du Puigaudeau (1864–1930). Known for his Post-Impressionist landscapes that often capture the unique lighting and atmosphere of the French countryside, Du Puigaudeau's work on this piece exemplifies his fascination with the effects of light, particularly during the twilight hours.

The painting depicts the Grande Brière, a vast natural wetland located near the Atlantic coast in the Loire-Atlantique region of France. This area, second only to the Camargue in size among French marshlands, has long been a subject of inspiration for artists due to its flat landscape and reflective waterways, which create striking visual effects during sunrise and sunset.

In "Sunset on the Grande Brière," Du Puigaudeau employs a rich palette to convey the warm glow of the setting sun as it casts its last rays over the marshes. The sky, ablaze with hues of orange, pink, and purple, reflects on the water's surface, creating a symphony of colors that harmonize with the darkening silhouettes of the reeds and the traditional thatched cottages characteristic of the region.

Du Puigaudeau's technique, which includes the use of bold, impasto brushstrokes, adds texture and a sense of movement to the painting, suggesting the gentle sway of the reeds in the evening breeze. The artist's attention to the interplay between light and shadow, as well as his ability to capture the tranquil yet fleeting moments of dusk, make "Sunset on the Grande Brière" a captivating example of his work and an important contribution to the Post-Impressionist movement.

The painting is considered one of Du Puigaudeau's masterpieces and reflects his continued exploration of landscape painting, a genre that he pursued throughout his career. Today, "Sunset on the Grande Brière" is appreciated not only for its aesthetic beauty but also for its historical value, offering insight into the rural French landscapes of the early 20th century that are now greatly changed. The work is held in various art collections and has been exhibited in numerous galleries, contributing to the enduring legacy of Ferdinand Loyen du Puigaudeau as an important figure in French Post-Impressionism.
