More about this artwork
"Entrée de village" by Henri Martin is a captivating pencil drawing that invites viewers into a serene, yet subtly detailed village scene. Characterized by its gentle lines and soft composition, this artwork perfectly captures the essence of a quaint village at the brink of either dawn or dusk. The natural framing created by the tall, slender trees guides one's eyes towards the heart of the village where architectural elements stand out, despite the muted pencil tones. The central church, with its prominently displayed bell tower, draws focus as a landmark amidst smaller buildings.The technique Henri Martin employs allows the viewer to feel the tranquility of the village atmosphere, suggesting a slow pace of life within the framed pathway leading into the settlement. Noticeable is the absence of bustling village life; instead, the drawing emphasizes the timeless and enduring structures, possibly hinting at the continuity and daily rhythms that outlast fleeting human presence.

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.
