Biography [edit | modify the code] Henry Jacques Delpy is a landscape painter from the Barbizon school like his father, of whom he was a pupil. He began his artistic career very early on. He specializes in water landscapes, in particular variations on the edges of rivers. His works are marked by the influence of his father and Charles-François Daubigny (1817-1878): he paints undergrowth full of melancholy, ponds, the banks of the Oise, the Seine and still landscapes. full of sensitivity and silence, over which hangs a heavy sky with a luminosity and daring colors, which to repeat itself does not lack quite poetic emotion. He uses a light, quick and transparent touch reminiscent of the impressionists. The artist achieves a real synthesis between this movement and the school of Barbizon, thus infusing this calm and serene atmospheric atmosphere so particular, in particular, in the transparency of the water and especially of the twilights, of which, like his father, he is a specialist. The skies and the water are magnified by his palette which uses a variety of unusual and original colors forming original associations but which have the effect of giving a picturesque character and tranquility to the entire canvas. He participated in the Salon des Artistes Français, of which he was a member, as well as in the Salon des Indépendants.
