In 1900 he visited the tiny village of Gerberoy (Seine et Oise) where he later bought the house which became the inspiration for many of his paintings and where he painted his beautiful still lifes.

Although the work of Henri Le Sidaner appears to be impervious to the artistic changes taking place at the beginning of the twentieth century he was not totally unaffected by the development of Impressionism and neo-Impressionism.

|
|
|
His work is very much in the realist style but at the same time evocative and poetic, if combines a dreamy quality with a technical expertise and his atmospheric paintings, whether they be landscapes or still lifes, are symptomatic of his unique personal vision.
