About the Item
Henri-Joseph Harpignies (French, 1819)
Paysage D' Ete de la Saint-Martin
Oil on canvas
Portraying a landscape scene in summer outside of Paris on a subsidiary of the Seine River on the Saint Martin River. This is a Barbizon plain air painting showing the shades of light on a summer day deep in the woods and under the trees. The tops of the trees showing brighter lights gradually decreasing into the bushes under the canopies. The impressionist brushstrokes are undeniable with mastery of diction telling a full story of depth that takes you into the beautiful blue skies and beyond. This is a large and heavy painting and will command attention in any great space.

Henri Harpignies' parents, Henri and Adèle, intended him for a commercial career, but his determination to become a painter led them to authorize him to enter Jean Achard 's studio in Paris in 1846. After two years of training, he left to travel to Italy .
Returning to France in 1850, Henri Harpignies joined Corot and the Barbizon School, whose influence he came under. Bound by friendship, the two artists traveled to Italy together in 1860.
In 1859, he collaborated in the decoration of the staff room of the Charité hospital in Paris.
On his return from Italy in 1861, he achieved his first success at the Salon with his Lisière de bois sur les bords de l'Allier . He then exhibited regularly at the Salon.
