Henri Le Sidaner was a French painter, who was interested in atmospheric light. His canvases, often somewhat monochromatic, are thoughtfully painted, describing forms with a soft, Impressionistic assembly of brushstrokes. He studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, under the tutelage of Alexandre Cabanel. See below Le Sidaner's painting "Boat on the Canal (Morning)," painted in 1900, where one can see his description of the soft light of fog at daybreak, and the glow of color and atmosphere in the early morning light.
Also, see below his painting "Le Table de Pierre Gerberoy," painted around 1910, where one can see his use of spots of color to describe the sparkling light of the scene before him.
And finally, see below his painting "Le Village de Autumne," painted around 1910, where one can see his technique of applying slightly varied monochromatic brushstrokes in soft patterns to describe the gentle light effects of the landscape.
