Henri Le Sidaner (1862–1939) was a French painter whose intimate, twilight-suffused garden and interior scenes occupy a unique position between Impressionism and Symbolism. Born in Port-Louis, Mauritius, to French parents, he settled in France and trained at the École des Beaux-Arts under Alexandre Cabanel.
