More about this artwork
Welcome to a serene depiction of nature captured in Stanislas Lépine's painting "The Marne Near Créteil." This exquisite artwork offers a tranquil view of the Marne River as it gently flows by the town of Créteil, located just a short distance from the bustling city of Paris.In this painting, Lépine masterfully portrays a soft, overcast day where the subtle light diffuses through the sky, bathing the landscape in a warm, muted glow. The foreground features a calm river, its surface reflecting the subtle tones of the sky and the verdant greenery of the riverbanks. A small boat, occupied by two figures, gently rows across the peaceful waters, adding a touch of human presence to the natural scene.The riverbanks are lush, dotted with clusters of trees that stand tall and somewhat wistfully against the sky. These trees, with their feathery foliage, create a graceful contrast with the smooth expanse of the river.Lépine's skillful use of muted color palettes and his attention to atmospheric details evoke a sense of tranquility and timeless beauty.

Stanislas Victor Edouard Lépine was a French painter who specialized in landscapes, especially views of the Seine.
Lépine was born in Caen. An important influence in his artistic formation was Corot, whom he met in Normandy in 1859, becoming his student the following year.
Lépine's favorite subject was the Seine, which he was to paint in all its aspects for the rest of his life.
