More about this artwork
Henri Martin's evocative painting, "La Tour De Collioure, Lever De Lune" (1923-1924), transports viewers to the serene coastal ambiance of Collioure, a charming fishing village in the south of France. The artwork captures a gentle moonrise, spotlighting the historic town and its iconic bell tower, which projects a watchful presence over the softly shimmering Mediterranean Sea.This exquisite piece is rendered in a distinct pointillist style, with meticulous dabs of color that blend seamlessly to create a luminous tableau. The warm golden hues of the ancient tower contrast with the cool blues of the sea and sky, while white-sailed boats bob peacefully on the water, evoking a sense of timeless tranquility. Martin's mastery in capturing light and his delicate touch with the pointillist technique make this painting not just a visual delight but also a testament to the artist's love for the French landscape.The calmness of the scene and the precise yet seemingly spontaneous application of color reflect a perfect moment in time, preserved forever by Martin's deft hand.

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.
