More about this artwork

Henri Le Sidaner's 1925 painting "Jet D’eau" showcases the artist's subtle and refined approach to capturing light and atmosphere. This intimate yet compelling piece focuses on the spray of a water fountain, an ethereal column of droplets that appears almost suspended in the verdant surround. The background, dense with varying shades of green interspersed with flecks of orange and yellow, suggests a lush garden or a quiet park setting at dusk.The water of the fountain is rendered with a series of light, vertical brushstrokes, conveying both the force of the jet and the fleeting nature of the water as it cascades downward. At the base, the water hits the pool, disrupting the otherwise still surface, creating ripples that spread across the dark, reflective pond.Le Sidaner is known for his ability to evoke serenity and quietness, and "Jet D’eau" is a fine example of these qualities. The palette is restrained yet expressive, allowing the viewer to feel both the tranquility of the setting and the dynamic movement of the water.

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.
