More about this artwork

"La Ronde" (1899) by Henri Le Sidaner is a graceful and ethereal representation of a traditional dance. This painting captures a group of women, depicted in soft, muted tones that convey a sense of gentle motion and unity. The figures are interlinked, holding hands in a circular formation that suggests a dance or ritual, swirling ever so subtly in a harmonious rhythm.Le Sidaner's use of light and shadow plays significantly in this piece, with the figures almost blending into the dimly lit background. This technique adds a dreamlike quality to the painting, evoking a sense of mystery and timelessness. The muted palette and the delicate handling of the figures' drapery enhance the feeling of intimacy and serenity."La Ronde" invites viewers to reflect on themes of community and togetherness, portrayed through a dance that transcends the physical and ventures into the poetic realm. Henri Le Sidaner's artwork here is not just a visual experience but an invitation to delve into the subtleties of human connection and the beauty of shared moments.

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.
