About the Item
Henri Le Sidaner
1862-1939 French
La table sous la tonnelle
(The Table under the Arbor)
Signed "Le Sidaner" (lower right)
Oil on canvas
A master of Post-Impressionism, Henri Le Sidaner found acclaim for his dreamlike domestic scenes, particularly those bathed in the soft glow of twilight. His tabletop settings, often illuminated by luminous lanterns, are especially celebrated. The artist's mastery is exemplified in this work, entitled La table sous la tonnelle (The Table under the Arbor), a grand-scale work that showcases his signature style in all its glory.
A leading figure in Intimism—a movement focused on the intense exploration of interiors and domesticity—Le Sidaner perfectly captures the essence of this movement in works like this one. The central table is colorfully set for a meal on a balcony, overlooking a peaceful countryside bathed in soft light that contrasts with the ethereal glow of the lanterns. An empty chair pulled back beckons the viewer to join this tranquil scene, inviting them into a world of domestic harmony.
Le Sidaner's captivating scenes stand out for their deliberate lack of figures, a unique approach among his peers. Unlike Impressionists and Post-Impressionists who focused on capturing fleeting moments through observation, Le Sidaner worked from memory. This allowed him to render the essence and emotional experience of a place, imbuing his mesmerizing works such as this one with a dreamlike quality.
Throughout his career, Le Sidaner enjoyed considerable success, exhibiting alongside important Post-Impressionists including Henri Martin and Paul Signac. His early Parisian years and a significant stay in the Netherlands around the turn of the century fostered his appreciation for Symbolism, evident in the enigmatic quality of this painting. His evocative scenes from Gerberoy like this one, painted during his mature career, exemplify his virtuosic approach and remain highly sought after by collectors. This painting is among the most striking and seductive works of the artist's oeuvre and comes to market for the first time in thirty years.
Le Sidaner was born in 1862 in Port Louis, Mauritius, and his artistic career began at the École des Beaux-Arts under Alexandre Cabanel, but found himself disenchanted with the academy. Le Sidaner relocated to the Étaples artist colony in 1885, where he discovered Impressionism and the plein air paintings of Monet. Eventually, he would go on to incorporate influences from Post-Impressionism, Pointillism and Symbolism into his masterful works, developing a unique vision that defies categorization.
In 1930, Le Sidaner was honored with a Professorship at the Académie des Beaux-Arts, and in 1937 he was named its President. He died in 1939 in Versailles, France, at the age of 76. Today, his works are held in the permanent collections of prestigious museums such as the Tate in London, Musée d'Arts de Nantes in Nantes and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Henri Le Sidaner
Henri Le Sidaner was an intimist painter, born to a French family in Port Louis, Mauritius. In 1870, he and his family settled in Dunkirk. Le Sidaner received most of his tutelage from the École des Beaux-Arts under the instruction of Alexandre Cabanel but later broke away due to artistic differences. Between 1885–94, Le Sidaner lived year-round at the Etaples art colony and was joined there by his childhood friend Eugène Chigot, who shared his interest in atmospheric light. Later, Le Sidaner traveled extensively throughout France. He also visited many cities around the globe, as well as villages throughout Europe. He exhibited at the Salon, the Galeries Georges Petit in Paris and the Goupil Gallery in London, and settled in Gerberoy. Marcel Proust's mention of Le Sidaner's work in his novel In Search of Lost Time confirms its later reputation. In Sodom and Gomorrah, the narrator mentions that an eminent barrister from Paris had devoted his income to collecting the paintings of the highly distinguished but not great Le Sidaner.

From the beginning of his career it was a constant concern of Georges d'Espagne to assert his originality. His studies at the École des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, did not last very long, for he wanted immediate independence and decided to follow courses in the private academies of Montparnasse. In about 1900, he became acquainted with Maurice Denis, Bonnard and Vuillard, and his collaboration with Denis led to a renewal of religious art in France.
In 1903, d'Espagne was one of the founders of the Salon d'Automne, and was appointed professor in charge of studios at the École des Beaux-Arts, Paris, in 1934. He illustrated a number of books: Rémy de Gourmont...
