Portrait of Félix Fénéon 1901

Maximilien Luce’s 1901 painting, "Portrait of Félix Fénéon," portrays the art critic and collector in a striking profile. Fénéon is rendered in a somber palette, with a dark coat and hat against a muted, almost abstract background. This minimalist composition allows for a clear focus on the sitter’s features, highlighting his sharp gaze and distinguished demeanor. The artwork is a testament to Luce’s style, which combined elements of Impressionism and Neo-Impressionism, creating a highly expressive portrayal of Fénéon's personality.
