Henri Le Sidaner, who was a contemporary of the Post-Impressionists, was an intimist painter known for his paintings of domestic interiors and quiet street scenes. His style contained elements of Impressionism with the influences of Édouard Manet, Monet, and of the Pointillists discernible in his work. In today's painting, Le Sidaner fulfilled his dream of creating an ideal setting in which to translate fleeting atmospheric moments onto canvas.
亨利-勒-西达纳是后印象派时代的画家，也是一位以室内装饰和安静街景画作而闻名的情感画家。他的风格包含印象派元素，受到爱德华-马奈、莫奈和点彩派画家的影响。在今天的画作中，西达纳实现了他的梦想，创造了一个理想的环境，在其中将转瞬即逝的瞬间氛围转化到画布上。
In La Gloriette, Gerberoy, Le Sidaner creates an atmosphere of meditative contemplation with his adroit handling of light and color. The table is set carefully with deliberately placed objects. The absence of figures allows one’s imagination to awaken and to be fully present in the fleeting dusk. The spectrum of orange, yellow, and pink hues cast by the spherical lanterns draws the viewer into the intimacy of the scene, which is at once filled with a sense of mystery and tranquility. Le Sidaner was well-aware that he would not have time to depict the interplay of light and their changing reflections, especially during dusk. Instead, he focused on fully immersing himself in the moment to recreate it more perfectly once it had passed. As the artist’s son, Rémy Le Sidaner, recalls, "When my father caught one of these ‘special effect’s’, he nodded in my direction and stood there, gazing out towards the horizon, impressing on his mind the scene he had just witnessed." 在《凉亭，日尔贝路瓦》中，西达纳巧妙地处理光线和色彩，营造出一种冥想的氛围。桌上的物品被精心放置。人物的缺席让观看者的想象力被唤醒，并完全融入到转瞬即逝的黄昏中。球形灯笼投下橙色、黄色和粉色光谱将观众吸引到这个亲密无间的场景中，立即充满了神秘和宁静的感觉。西达纳很清楚他没有时间描绘光线的相互作用和它们变化的反射，尤其是在黄昏的时候。相反，他专注于让自己完全沉浸在这一刻，以便在这一刻过去后，能更完美地再现它。画家的儿子雷米-勒-西达纳回忆道，“当我父亲看到其中一个“特效”时，他朝我的方向点了点头，站在那里，凝视着地平线，在脑海中留下了他刚刚目睹的那一幕。”
