About the Item

Henri Lebasque French 1865 - 1937 Oil on canvas, signed bottom right Image size: 21 1/4 x  18 1/8 inches (54 x 45 cm) Gilt frame Painted circa 1907, Le Moulin de Douvres, Torcy invites you to a serene world where nature’s beauty unfolds. This captivating landscape captures the delicate dance of light and shadow on a secluded river. The artist’s brushstrokes evoke a sense of calm, while the lush foliage and distant bridge beckon the viewer to explore further. The painter skilfully balances realism and impressionism, allowing us to feel the gentle ripples on the water’s surface and hear the rustle of leaves. Moulin de Douvres, Torcy, on the river Marne, was originally a cereal mill dating back to the end of the 14th century and beginning of the 15th century. It was burnt down by the duke of Parma, Alexander Farnese and the Spanish army of Phillip II in the Wars of Religion in 1590 during the assault on Lagny but was late rebuilt in 1629. The authenticity of this work has been confirmed by Madame de la Ville Fromoit and Madame Christine Lenoir. Henri Lebasque, born in Champigné, France, in 1865, left behind a vibrant artistic legacy. Inspired by fellow painters Édouard Vuillard and Pierre Bonnard, Lebasque’s work reflects the influence of Les Nabis, a group of Intimist artists. His time in the sun-soaked landscapes of the South of France transformed his colour palette, leading him to fully embrace the vibrant Fauvist style. Throughout his career, Lebasque painted serene family scenes, landscapes, and domestic interiors, capturing moments of quiet beauty. Critics celebrated his unique fusion of form and colour, setting him apart from other Fauvists. As a founding member of the Salon d’Automne in 1903, alongside his friend Henri Matisse, Lebasque exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants. Notably, Georges Rouault, André Derain, Henri Ottmann, Édouard Vuillard, and Matisse also participated in that exhibition. Often hailed as “the painter of joy and light,” Lebasque skilfully portrayed the sun-dappled landscapes and opulent interiors of the French Riviera. His compositions, bridging Impressionism and Fauvism, reveal a keen sensitivity to shifting natural light and an unapologetic embrace of expressive colours and gestures, evoking powerful emotions.
