Henri Martin is one of the figures of French Post-Impressionism of the last three decades of the 19th century. Influenced by the Neo-Impressionists, the artist experiments with color by combining techniques as well as traditional and modernist languages. Inspired by the poetry of Dante, Byron, Poe, and Baudelaire, Henri Martin creates works of a symbolist nature such as misty landscapes punctuated by melancholic faces.
