Henry Jacques Delpy is a landscape painter from the Barbizon school like his father, of whom he was a student. He embarked on his artistic career very early. He specializes in water landscapes, particularly variations on river banks. He uses a light, rapid and transparent touch reminiscent of that of the Impressionists. The artist creates a true synthesis between this movement and the Barbizon school, thus instilling this calm and serene atmospheric atmosphere so particular, in particular, in the transparency of the water and especially of the twilights, of which, just like his father, he is a specialist. The skies and water are magnified by his palette which uses a variety of unusual and original colors forming new associations but which have the effect of giving a picturesque character and tranquility to the entire canvas. He participated in the French Artists' Salon, of which he was a member, as well as the Independents' Salon.
