Reflected Willow on the Green 1915

"Reflected Willow on the Green" (1915), by Henri Martin, is a vibrant and colorful landscape painting capturing a serene, almost dreamlike river scene. The delicate brushstrokes and rich hues create a sense of shimmering light, reflecting off the water and illuminating the surrounding trees. The central willow tree, its branches cascading towards the river, is a prominent focal point, mirroring itself in the water below. The painting's overall composition evokes a sense of tranquility and harmony, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the beauty of the natural world. The artwork's style is characteristic of French Impressionism, which emerged in the 19th century and emphasized the effects of light and color in nature.
