Martin’s most distinctive and remarkable works were created after be moved to the countryside in 1900, where the landscapes and surroundings served as a constant source of inspiration and Martin was determined to capture the change of light and tones throughout the seasons. His pointillist style and impressionist manner was a perfect source for his full devotion to the representation of nature. Jacques Martin-Ferrières, the artists’ son, notes that “Henri Martin was without contest an Impressionist and one who had the deepest sensitiveness, certainly equal to that of Monet, whom he most admired. Their interpretation of nature is certainly, owing to their utmost sensitiveness and not through research of a technical process, a poetical evocation hued by a thousand colours which can undoubtedly be called a work of art” (Jacques Martin-Ferrières, Henri Martin, Paris, 1967, p. 35).
