The second house of Max Ernst in Seillans, designed by Dorothea Tanning, where they lived since 1971. Seillans 1974.

Low-angled sunlight casts a warm glow over the rustic village of Seillans, nestled into a steep, wooded hillside in 1974. Stone and stucco buildings with terracotta-tiled roofs ascend the slope, creating strong contrasts of light and shadow. It was in this village that Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning lived from 1971, in a second home designed by Tanning herself. To the right, a large, dense cypress tree dominates the frame, emphasizing the verticality of the Mediterranean landscape.
