International dealers in high quality 19th and 20th century art
Trinity House, the London-based international dealers in high quality 19th and 20th century art, are to open a New York gallery at the beginning of September to enable them to expand their operation in the United States. The gallery at 24 East 64th Street in Manhattan is in the heart of New York’s Upper East Side. It is in the building occupied by Pucci, the fashion house founded by the Italian designer Emilio Pucci, and opposite the renowned art dealers Wildenstein & Co.
Simon Shore and Steven Beale, the sole owners of Trinity House, have established a reputation for exhibiting exceptional paintings, works on paper and sculpture since they began in 2006. They recognized that clients not only want to be offered fine works of art but also receive expert, straightforward advice on buying art and building a collection. Trinity House began life in the picturesque English village of Broadway in the Cotswolds, where it still has a base, and last year opened a gallery over two floors at 50 Maddox Street in Mayfair in the centre of London’s internationally important art market district. Having a New York gallery will mean that for the first time it will be based in both the principal centres of the global art trade ensuring easy access for collectors and museum curators.
Trinity House is particularly strong in Impressionist, Post-Impressionist and Modern British works of art and artists exhibited recently have included Pierre Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro, Paul Cezanne, Eugene Boudin and John Singer Sargent. | Close

HENRI MARTIN (1860 - 1943)
Renvoi à la maison Oil on canvas. Canvas Size: 37 x 33 in / 94 x 83.75 cm, Signed.
Provenance: Private Collection, United States
Biographical Details: Born August 5, 1860 in Toulouse, Martin’s career started academically and then expanded to an avant-garde Post-impressionist style. His early works were devoted to poetic and allegorical themes reflecting his training at the École des Beaux-Arts in Toulouse. After winning the Grand Prix he moved to Paris in 1879 to study at the École des Beaux-Arts under Jean-Paul Laurens (1838-1921). This all implied that Henri Martin was turning into the prime academician, and saloniste: Martin would exhibit at the Salon des Artistes Français in Paris from 1880, winning a medal at the 1883 Salon. The strict, linear-based painting style Martin had acquired up to this point loosened after a trip to Italy in 1885.
Martin returned to Paris in 1889 and began experimenting with pointillism and the theories of colour. His subjects turned from allegories and history painting almost exclusively to landscape painting. Colourful canvases full of light depict the rolling countryside around his house at different times of the day and render works of shadow and sun. In 1889 Henri Martin exhibited at La Fête de la Fédération where he was presented with a gold medal. Working in an avant-garde, ground-breaking style, Martin boasted much recognition for his work. He was named Chevalier of the Legion of Honour in 1896, and in 1900 won the grand prize at the Exposition Universelle. Martin is buried in the cemetery at La Bastide-du-Vert.
