The Washerwomen at Dawn by Henry Jacques Delpy
$2,000
A charming Oil on Panel of The Washerwomen or ‘Les Lavandieres” by Henry Jacques Delpy
A characteristic view of the river Oise by Delpy, the low viewpoint, the motionless water and suffusion of soft light all contribute to the mood of pastoral tranquility.
This peaceful barbizon riverscape depicts a sun slowly illuminating the sky and covering the whole scenery in golden and pink hues. The “lavandières” can be seen washing to the left, on the side of the river, with a house appearing a little further behind them.
A very calming scene full of light.
Henry Jacques Delpy, born in Bois le Roi on June 28th 1877 was a landscape painter of the Barbizon school, like his father Hippolyte Camille Delpy, whose pupil he was.
He embarked on an artistic career at an early age.
He specialized in waterscapes, particularly variations on riverbanks.
His works are marked by the influence of his father and Charles-François Daubigny (1817-1878).
He painted melancholy undergrowth, ponds, the banks of the Oise and Seine rivers, and landscapes that were always full of sensitivity and tranquility, over which the sky was rendered with a bold luminosity and color.
His light, rapid and transparent brushstrokes were reminiscent of those of the Impressionists.
The artist achieved a true synthesis between this movement and the Barbizon school, instilling that calm, serene atmospheric ambience so particular to him, notably in the transparency of water and especially twilight, in which, like his father, he was a specialist.
The skies and water are always magnified by his palette, which employs a variety of unusual and original colors, forming unprecedented combinations that lend a picturesque and tranquil character to the canvas as a whole.
He took part in the Salon des artistes Français, of which he was a member, as well as the Salon des Indépendants.
Henry Jacques Delpy died in Paris on November 24, 1957.
