Didier Imbert Fine Arts will include this painting in their forthcoming Loiseau catalogue raisonné.
Les peupliers sur l'Eure is part of a series that Loiseau painted near his home at Saint-Cyr-du-Vaudreuil on the river Eure in Normandy. Essentially a self-taught artist, Loiseau was greatly influenced by the work of Claude Monet. Indeed, the contemporary critic Louis Vauxcelles observed that Loiseau of all the young Post-Impressionist artists had truly understood the example of the master (Gil Bas, 1904). In the early 1890s Monet painted an important series of poplar paintings along the river Epte that served as inspiration for the present work. Monet painted his pictures from the vantage of his boat and Loiseau chose a similar perspective in Les peupliers sur l'Eure. However, unlike the works by Monet which are highly colored, Loiseau chose a more muted palette to convey the impression of the early morning on the river. With subtle shades of grey, blue and green Loiseau captures the effect of light as it filters through the misty air, revealing the forms of the screen of trees as the mist lifts.
