More about this artwork
Explore the evocative landscape captured in Henri Martin’s painting, "La Tonelle de l’Angle Nord-Ouest du Parc de Marquayrol." Envisioned around 1910, this artwork encapsulates the tranquil beauty of Marquayrol's park through Martin’s signature Post-Impressionist style, utilizing vibrant, stippled brushstrokes that evoke a sense of serene movement.In the foreground, a riotous bloom of purple and pink flowers luxuriously carpets the ground, leading the eye to a charming arched arbor abundantly draped with foliage and blooming flowers in shades of red and green. This arbor frames a tranquil view, guiding our gaze further into the meticulously landscaped garden that stretches towards a verdant, hilly horizon. Standing sentinel on either side of the arbor are classical white columns and scattered potted plants that add a structured, yet whimsical aspect to the scene.The soft, variegated patches of color throughout the composition create a tapestry of light and shadow, playing across the arbor’s curves and the garden's textured surfaces. Martin’s work here is a celebration of nature’s beauty, enriched by a harmonious palette that invites viewers to linger within this idyllic garden retreat.

Henri-Jean Guillaume "Henri" Martin (5 August 1860 – 12 November 1943) was a French painter. Elected to the Académie des Beaux-Arts in 1917, he is known for his early 1920s work on the walls of the Salle de l'Assemblée générale, where the members of the Conseil d'État meet in the Palais-Royal in Paris. Other notable institutions that have featured his Post-Impressionist paintings in their halls through public procurement include the Élysée Palace, Sorbonne, Hôtel de Ville de Paris, Palais de Justice de Paris, as well as Capitole de Toulouse, although the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux and Musée des Augustins also have sizeable public collections.
