The Promenade (Landscape with Cypresses), La Promenade (Paysage aux cypres), 1897
The Promenade (Landscape with Cypresses), La Promenade (Paysage aux cypres), 1897. In 1891, Cross adopted a Neo-Impressionist technique and began painting in a pointillist manner influenced by Georges Seurat and Paul Signac. In that same year, Cross left Paris and moved to the south of France, settling in Saint-Clair, a small hamlet near Saint-Tropez. There he concentrated on seascapes and scenes of peasants in harmony with the landscape. The sensuous silhouettes of the cypresses and the swaying circle of figures by the waters edge exemplify Crosss decorative treatment of the landscape, also recalling the Japanese colour woodcuts and Art Nouveau designs that inspired other Neo-Impressionists at the time

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Promenade (Landscape with Cypresses), La Promenade (Paysage aux cypres)" painted by Henri Edmond Cross in 1897. Known for his adoption of the Neo-Impressionist technique, Cross was greatly influenced by artists Georges Seurat and Paul Signac, leading him to paint in a pointillist manner. In 1891, Cross made a significant move from Paris to the serene landscapes of Saint-Clair near Saint-Tropez in the south of France. It was there that he found inspiration in seascapes and scenes depicting peasants harmoniously coexisting with nature. The enchanting beauty of this artwork lies within its sensuous silhouettes of cypress trees and a swaying circle of figures along the water's edge. These elements perfectly exemplify Cross's decorative treatment of the landscape while also drawing inspiration from Japanese color woodcuts and Art Nouveau designs that were popular among other Neo-Impressionists during that era. This exquisite color lithograph on chine collé captures every intricate detail and vibrant hue meticulously crafted by Henri Edmond Cross. Preserved at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this piece is an invaluable part of French art history from the late 19th century. Through this print provided by Heritage Images, viewers can immerse themselves in Cross's artistic vision, appreciating his unique interpretation of nature's harmony through a blend of innovative techniques and influences from various art movements.
