Corner of a House c. 1930s

Henri Martin’s “Corner of a House” from the 1930s depicts a quintessential French countryside scene. The painting features a white house with a red-tiled roof and a single window with blue shutters. The building stands behind a row of trees, with a small patch of green grass and blooming daffodils in the foreground. The use of vibrant colors and a pointillist technique create a textured and lively atmosphere. Martin was a highly regarded French artist, known for his landscape and figure paintings, and his work often captured the beauty of the French countryside. This painting is a beautiful example of his style and his ability to convey the tranquility of nature.
