EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative sketch by Marie Joseph Leon Iwill, titled "Sketch for the town hall of Joinville-le-Pont: Lac d'Amour - the weeping willow," dates back to the 1910s and offers a captivating glimpse into the past. Iwill masterfully captures the serene beauty of a quiet lakeside scene in this oil on canvas painting. At the heart of the composition lies a weeping willow tree, its long, flowing branches reaching out towards the shimmering surface of the lake. The tree's trunk, with its gnarled texture and intricate bark patterns, stands proudly against the backdrop of the rising sun. The lake, Lac d'Amour or Lake of Love, is calm and still, reflecting the vibrant colors of the morning sky. A pair of swans glide gracefully across the water, their elegant forms adding to the tranquil atmosphere. In the distance, the outlines of trees and the silhouette of the town of Joinville-le-Pont can be seen, hinting at the bustling suburban life beyond the lakeside. The painting also reveals Iwill's keen interest in natural sciences, as the solar system is depicted in the sky above, with the sun, planets, and stars arranged in their correct astronomical positions. This intriguing fusion of landscape and astronomy adds an extra layer of depth and complexity to the work. Originally created as a sketch for the town hall of Joinville-le-Pont, this beautiful oil painting is now part of the collections at the Petit Palais in Paris, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors. A testament to Iwill's artistic talent and his deep appreciation for the natural world, this painting remains a cherished piece of French heritage art and a reminder of the simple pleasures of a morning by the lake.
