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.

Henri Lebasque
Henri Lebasque (25 September 1865 – 7 August 1937) was a French post-impressionist painter. He was born at Champigné (Maine-et-Loire). Lebasque was a founding member of the Salon d'Automne in 1903 with his friend Henri Matisse. Two years later, a group of artists exhibited there including Georges Rouault, André Derain, Édouard Vuillard, and Matisse. Lebasque also became friends with artists such as Gustave Rouault, Raoul Dufy, Louis Valtat, and Henri Manguin, the last of whom introduced Lebasque to the South of France. His time in South of France would lead to a radical transformation in Lebasque’s paintings, changing his colour palette forever. Other travels included the Vendée, Normandy, and Brittany. His work is represented in French museums, notably Angers, Geneva (Petit Palais), Lille (Musée des Beaux-Arts), Nantes, and Paris (Musée d’Orsay). Lebasque died at Cannet, Alpes Maritimes in 1937.

Norman Lloyd was born in 1895 near Newcastle, New South Wales, where he attended school. He left school in 1911 and started to work and study painting with Julian Ashton and James R. Jackson in Sydney.
On his 21st birthday in 1916 he enlisted with the Australian Imperial Forces. He was transported to Europe where he was seriously wounded in battle a year later. After returning to Sydney in February 1918, he took up painting lessons at the Julian Ashton Art School again.
From 1921 to 1926, Lloyd exhibited with galleries in Sydney and Melbourne, showing landscapes and Sydney harbour scenes painted in the more traditional style of his teachers.
From 1926 to 1929, Norman Lloyd visited Europe and travelled widely in Italy and France, exhibiting in the UK, France and Australia, culminating in a solo exhibition at Macquarie Galleries in Sydney.
In the 1930s, Lloyd migrated to London with his wife Edith for good, setting up a boarding house in upmarket St Johns Wood and establishing himself quickly in the new society, being a kind, generous and interested man with a broad horizon.
His mansion became a meeting point and home for many Australian expats, among them painters Will...
