NOTICE
Pierre-Jacques Pelletier, a French artist at the turn of the XXᵉ century, is renowned for his landscapes, genre scenes and illustrations. Influenced by the Impressionist movement, Pelletier favors a figurative approach tinged with expressive touches that capture the light and atmosphere of his subjects. His soft, nuanced palette, often composed of greens, blues and browns, conveys the peaceful charm of the French countryside and scenes of everyday life.
His works, mainly oils on canvas, show a great sensitivity to nature and the rhythm of the seasons, and his balanced compositions reveal a concern for visual harmony. Pelletier also paints interior scenes, highlighting the quietude of family life and the details of everyday life, which he approaches with particular precision and tenderness. His landscapes, painted in various regions of France, are characterized by a serene atmosphere that invites the viewer to contemplate.
Close in his approach to rendering rural scenes to Léon-Augustin Lhermitte and in his luminous sensibility to Henri Le Sidaner, Pierre-Jacques Pelletier is part of the French tradition of painting nature and daily life. Today, his works are sought-after for their delicacy and their ability to capture the essence of a rural France, authentic and poetic, where every detail is imbued with calm and nostalgia.
