"Portrait of Henri Edmond Cross" is a painting by the French Neo-Impressionist artist Maximilien Luce, depicting his fellow artist and friend Henri Edmond Cross. The work is a testament to the close-knit community of avant-garde artists at the turn of the 20th century, particularly those associated with the Neo-Impressionist movement, which included luminaries such as Georges Seurat and Paul Signac.

Luce's portrait is notable for its use of Divisionism, a technique closely related to Pointillism, characterized by the separation of colors into individual dots or patches which interact optically. Through this method, Luce captures the essence of Cross's personality and his artistic identity. The painting is a vibrant and insightful representation of Cross, showcasing Luce's skill in color theory and his ability to portray the human figure within the context of Neo-Impressionist aesthetics.

The exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, but it is believed to have been produced during the late 19th or early 20th century, a period when both Luce and Cross were actively engaged in the development of Neo-Impressionism. The portrait not only serves as a significant piece of art historical evidence of the friendship and mutual respect between Luce and Cross but also provides insight into the broader cultural and artistic networks of the time.

"Portrait of Henri Edmond Cross" is held in high regard for its historical significance and its contribution to the understanding of Neo-Impressionist portraiture. It remains an important work within Maximilien Luce's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its technical and stylistic contributions to the art movement. The painting is a valuable piece within the context of French modern art and is often included in discussions of the evolution of painting techniques and the personal relationships among artists of the Neo-Impressionist circle.
