More about this artwork

Henri Le Sidaner's painting titled "L’allée Verte" from 1905 is a captivating exploration of light and tranquility within a forest landscape. The painting draws viewers into a dense, enveloping corridor of trees, depicted with lush, varying shades of green. The artist uses an impressionistic style to render the interplay of light and shadow, which subtly shifts as the eyes move deeper into the path that leads toward a mysteriously lit background. This soft illumination at the heart of the image entices the viewer, suggesting a serene, almost ethereal destination.The vertical lines of the tree trunks, combined with the arched canopy of leaves, create a natural tunnel effect, enhancing the depth and inviting one to step into the canvas. The ground, scattered with light-reflecting leaves, adds texture and vibrancy, reinforcing the immersive experience of nature’s own cathedral.

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.
