Our Inspiration:Landscape with Stars
Henri-Edmond Cross (Henri-Edmond Delacroix)
(French, 1856–1910)
Watercolor on white wove paper, 9 5/8 x 12 5/8 in., ca. 1905–8
Robert Lehman Collection, 1975 1975.1.592
This poetic depiction of a star-streaked sky combines the long broken brushstrokes of Cross’s late works with a murky landscape of pen and ink, reminiscent in its impressionistic forms of Japanese painting.
