"Old Manor of Criqueboeuf" is a notable painting by the American artist Homer Dodge Martin, created in the late 19th century. Martin, born in 1836, was a prominent figure in the Hudson River School, a mid-19th century American art movement embodied by a group of landscape painters whose aesthetic vision was influenced by romanticism. The painting exemplifies Martin's transition from the Hudson River School's detailed and idealized landscapes to a more expressive and atmospheric style that foreshadowed American Impressionism.

The work depicts the ruins of an old manor in Criqueboeuf, a small village in the Normandy region of France. Martin traveled to France in the 1880s, where he was deeply influenced by the Barbizon School and the broader European art scene. "Old Manor of Criqueboeuf" captures the serene yet melancholic beauty of the French countryside, characterized by its soft, diffused light and the subtle interplay of color and shadow.

In this painting, Martin employs a muted palette dominated by earthy tones, which enhances the sense of decay and the passage of time. The composition is marked by a strong horizontal orientation, with the manor's remnants set against a tranquil sky. The brushwork is loose and expressive, a departure from the meticulous detail of his earlier works, reflecting his evolving artistic sensibilities.

"Old Manor of Criqueboeuf" is celebrated for its atmospheric quality and emotional depth, illustrating Martin's ability to convey mood and memory through landscape. The painting is part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where it continues to be admired for its historical significance and artistic merit. Through this work, Homer Dodge Martin has left an enduring legacy in the canon of American landscape painting, bridging the gap between the Hudson River School and the emerging trends of modern art.
