Cliff with Houses 

Henri Martin, a French painter known for his landscapes and figure paintings, created "Cliff with Houses" sometime between 1860 and 1943. The painting depicts a village nestled on a cliff overlooking a river, with the prominent church building dominating the scene. Martin's distinctive style is evident in the use of Pointillism, a technique where small dots of color are applied to the canvas, creating a textured, shimmering effect. This artistic approach was popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in France, and contributed to the development of Impressionism.
