NOTICE
Jean Henry Alexandre Pernet, a French artist active in the late XIXᵉ and early XXᵉ centuries, is renowned for his delicate watercolors and gouaches, often inspired by nature, rural landscapes and scenes of everyday life. In his works, Pernet uses the transparency of watercolor combined with the density of gouache to create compositions rich in detail and nuance. He masters the effects of light and texture, making each scene both realistic and poetic.
Pernet favors a palette of soft, harmonious tones - greens, blues and browns - that give his landscapes a serene, soothing atmosphere. His light, precise brushstrokes capture the reflections of water, the texture of foliage and subtle shadows, adding a natural depth to his compositions. The combination of watercolor and gouache in her work reinforces the contrast between the elements, while preserving the softness of the whole.
Close in sensibility to watercolorists such as Hippolyte Camille Delpy and Léon Augustin Lhermitte, who shared his taste for nature and rural scenes, Jean Henry Alexandre Pernet is part of the French naturalist tradition. His works, sought after today for their finesse and sensitivity, offer an intimate, contemplative look at the landscapes and rural life of his time, illustrating a deep bond between man and nature.
