Henri Le Sidaner - Le bassin du refuge (1924)

 Instead of incorporating a vast sky, the upper area of ​​the composition is decorated with idyllic clusters of trees and two charming buildings expressed in a spectrum of cider, pear and emerald colors. Behind the building with a closed door on the left, a beam of artificial marigold light suggests the possibility of a human presence in an otherwise iconoclastic scene. These intricate structures create a captivating and intimate depiction of a mystical town, seemingly fleeting as it is reflected in a mosaic-colored body of water reminiscent of the iconic Water Lilies by Monet.(Christie's, New York - Oil on canvas, 73 x 92 cm)
