"View on the Seine: Harp of the Winds" is a notable landscape painting by the American artist Homer Dodge Martin (1836–1897). Created in 1895, this work is considered one of Martin's most significant contributions to American landscape painting and is often cited as a prime example of his late-career transition towards a more tonalist and atmospheric style. The painting is characterized by its moody depiction of the Seine River, with a focus on the interplay of light and the natural elements, rather than a detailed representation of the landscape.

The title of the painting, "Harp of the Winds," suggests a poetic interpretation of the scene, where the winds playing over the Seine are likened to the strings of a harp, creating a harmonious and evocative soundscape that complements the visual experience. This metaphorical approach is reflective of the tonalist movement, which emphasized mood and emotion over the precise depiction of nature.

Measuring 38 1/4 x 60 1/4 inches (97.2 x 153 cm), the oil on canvas painting is part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The artwork showcases Martin's skillful use of muted colors and loose brushwork, which contribute to the overall sense of tranquility and ethereal beauty in the painting. The subdued palette and the emphasis on the atmospheric effects of light and air mark a departure from the more detailed and realistic style of Martin's earlier Hudson River School works.

"View on the Seine: Harp of the Winds" is often discussed in the context of Martin's late-career experimentation with impressionistic techniques and his influence on the development of American landscape painting at the turn of the 20th century. The painting is admired for its ability to capture the ephemeral qualities of the landscape and for its forward-looking approach to depicting nature, which resonates with the broader trends in American art of the period.
