About the Item
Henri Martin
1860-1943 French
Venice
Signed "Henri Martin" (lower right)
Oil on canvas
Henri Martin, an exceptional Post-Impressionist painter known for his light-drenched landscapes, created this oil while on a trip to Venice in 1909-1910. Drawn to the city’s clear, strong light and its reflections on the surrounding buildings, Martin visited many times during his career. Venice’s distinctive atmosphere has served as a source of inspiration for generations of artists, and Martin builds off this legacy in his work. This resplendent landscape expertly captures the morning sunlight coming over the Grand Canal, illuminating the vibrant colors of the historic palazzos.
In this composition, Martin used Pointillism to painstakingly apply small touches of vibrant color. The subtle brushstrokes contrast with the strong vertical lines and classic architecture of the buildings. In doing so, Martin blends his early academic training with a modern sensibility of light and color, imbuing the work with a moving sense of the fleeting nature of beauty.
Martin began his artistic studies at the École des Beaux-Arts in Toulouse in 1877. Finding recognition early into his schooling, he received a municipal scholarship to relocate to Paris in 1879, where he studied under Jean-Paul Laurens. His early academic style won him a medal at the conservative Paris Salon at the young age of 23. However, after studying the works of Giotto and Masaccio on his first trip to Italy a few years later, he radically altered his approach to painting to reflect his new perspective on light. Experimenting with various neo-impressionist techniques, Martin captured the fleeting qualities of light through Divisionist, Symbolist and Pointillist paintings.
Throughout his career, Martin refused numerous contracts from successful Paris dealers. His independence sets him apart from fellow contemporaries given the 20th-century art market, where most artists relied on dealers for financial stability and exposure. By rejecting the contracts, Martin preserved full control over his creative vision and never assented to commercial pressures. His artistic integrity allowed him to remain a true original in an era defined by market conformity. Martin’s works can now be found around the world including the Musée d’Orsay and the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
This work is accompanied by a certificate from Madame Marie-Anne Destrebecq-Martin.
