On the Banks of the Seine | Henry Lyman Saÿen Postcard

On the Banks of the Seine (1909-1912) by Henry Lyman Saÿen captures the tranquil yet vibrant essence of the Seine River landscape. This piece is an abstract interpretation of the iconic river and its surroundings, blending elements of natural scenery with Saÿen’s characteristic use of vivid colour and dynamic brushwork. The painting reflects a modernist approach to landscape painting, where the traditional view of nature is reimagined through bold, expressive strokes and a vibrant colour palette. Saÿen’s work from this period reveals his deep connection to the evolving art movements of the early 20th century, combining impressionistic influences with abstract forms to convey the beauty and fluidity of the French countryside.
