"La mare à Saint-Privé" is a painting by the French landscape artist Henri-Joseph Harpignies (1819–1916), who was associated with the Barbizon School, a group of artists working in the Barbizon village near the Forest of Fontainebleau who embraced plein air painting. Harpignies was known for his pastoral scenes, often depicting the rural French countryside with a poetic and tranquil sensibility.

Created in 1895, "La mare à Saint-Privé" reflects Harpignies' mature style, characterized by a refined treatment of trees and water, and a masterful handling of light and shadow. The painting portrays a serene pond in Saint-Privé, a commune in the Yonne department in Burgundy, France, which was a frequent subject in Harpignies' oeuvre. The artist's deep appreciation for nature is evident in the meticulous rendering of the foliage, the calm water, and the soft, diffused light that imbues the scene with a sense of timelessness and harmony.

Measuring 73.5 x 92 cm, the artwork is executed in oil on canvas, a medium that allowed Harpignies to capture the subtle nuances of the landscape. "La mare à Saint-Privé" is a testament to Harpignies' skill in landscape painting and his contribution to the development of the genre in the late 19th century. The painting is held in private collections and has been featured in various exhibitions that showcase the works of the Barbizon School and their impact on the evolution of landscape painting.

As a representative piece of Harpignies' work, "La mare à Saint-Privé" continues to be admired for its peaceful composition and its ability to transport viewers to the idyllic rural settings that inspired the artist throughout his career. The painting not only captures the beauty of the French countryside but also reflects the broader artistic movements of the time, including the transition from Romanticism to Impressionism, as artists sought to depict the natural world with greater immediacy and emotional resonance.
