Summary/Abstract: In the short story La Sainte-Anne de Ploubazlanec two subjects dominate : the fantastic and art. The real world and the world of mystic and macabre dreams alternate in descriptions of Breton landscapes. However, its painting-like style and numerous references to art prove that E. Demolder was an excellent art critic.
