More about this artwork

This serene painting, "Les Barques À La Rochelle" by French artist Henri Le Sidaner, painted in 1923, offers a unique impressionist view of the bustling harbor life in La Rochelle. The artwork captures the reflective quality of water with shimmering hues of blue and green, portraying the peaceful yet lively scene of small boats gently floating in the calm waters. Each boat, tinged with subtle colors, appears both distinct and integrated into the tapestry of the harbor scene.The background of the painting features a row of buildings, whose pastel façades add to the overall softness of the scene. The diffuse lighting, possibly depicting either early morning or late afternoon, highlights Sidaner's mastery in rendering light and shadow to create a tranquil atmosphere. This painting not only embodies a beautiful harborside tableau but also showcases the intimate connection between nature and human creation, a recurring theme in Sidaner’s works.

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.
