More about this artwork
Welcome to a serene moment captured by Maximilien Luce in his 1926 painting, titled "Sous L'Arbre Rolleboise". This Impressionist masterpiece transports viewers to a tranquil woodland scene, where the lush, vibrant hues of nature envelop a peaceful gathering under the dappled shade of towering trees.In "Sous L'Arbre Rolleboise", Luce masterfully depicts three figures seated comfortably on the grass, absorbed perhaps in quiet conversation or lost in individual contemplation. The sun, filtering through the leafy boughs, plays on the greenery and on the subjects, highlighting the textures of the natural world around them. The interplay of light and shadow, a hallmark of the Impressionist movement, creates a lively yet soothing atmosphere.Luce’s brushwork, visible in the strokes that define the tree trunks and the grass, adds a dynamic quality to the scene. The trees, robust and sprawling, anchor the composition, their twisted forms suggesting both strength and movement. The colors Luce uses—varied shades of green interspersed with touches of yellows, whites, and earth tones—enhance the feeling of a breezy, sunlit day.

Starting as an engraver, he then concentrated on painting, first as an Impressionist, then as a Pointillist, and finally returning to Impressionism.
