More about this artwork

Henri Le Sidaner's captivating piece, "Houses in Bruges," takes its viewers on a silent visual stroll along the reflective waters of a canal in the historic city of Bruges. Painted with a palette that skillfully uses shades of orange, yellow, and muted greens against a series of earth tones, this painting portrays a row of time-worn yet charming houses. Their reflections shimmer in the canal, blurring lines between reality and reflection to create a dreamlike ambiance.Le Sidaner's impressionistic approach is evident in the softly blended brushstrokes, suggesting the tranquil glow of a sunset or the gentle dawn light. Each window and architectural detail, while not sharply defined, contributes to an overall impression of warmth and historic beauty. The scene is devoid of any bustling city activity, conveying a sense of serenity.

Henri Eugène Augustin Le Sidaner (7 August 1862 – 14 July 1939) who was a contemporary of the Post-impressionists, was an intimist painter known for his paintings of domestic interiors and quiet street scenes. His style contained elements of impressionism with the influences of Édouard Manet, Monet and of the Pointillists discernible in his work. Le Sidaner favoured a subdued use of colour, preferring nuanced greys and opals applied with uneven, dappled brushstrokes to create atmosphere and mysticism. A skilled nocturne painter, he travelled widely throughout France and Europe before settling at Gerberoy in the Picardy countryside from where he painted for over thirty years.

Le Sidaner's paintings and pastels were widely collected throughout his career. His seductive views of the gardens he created in the ruins of the medieval fortress at Gerberoy, with their recently vacated tables dappled in sunlight and overhung by roses, have cemented his reputation as a unique artist who does not fit easily into an art movement.
