About the Item

"Bords de l'Yonne" also referred to as "Le Canal" Oil on canvas, signed in the bottom left corner, 33x41cm, circa 1867 Origin: -Sotheby's sale July 05-06 1961, lot no. 131 -Walter Goetz collection, then passed down to his descendants. Litterature: -M-Fidell-Beaufort & J Bailly-Herzberg, "Daubigny La vie et l'oeuvre", Paris 1975, no. 111, under the tite "Le Canal" -R. Hellebranth's reasoned catalogue, 1976, page 146, no. 455. Born into a family of painters, Daubigny is initiated at a young age by his fathern Edmé François Daubigny. He Was also of student of both Jean-Victor Bertin and Jacques Raymond Brascassat. Moving to Barbizon in 1843, where he worked in the middle of nature, changed his way of painting. Meeting Camille Corot was decisive in his life: on his boat (christened "Le Botin") which he transformed into a painting studio, he painted as he followed the current of the Seine and the Oise. From 1852, the influence of Gustave Courbet on Daubigny directs his art to pre impressionism. In 1866, Daubigny visits England, and flees there again in 1870 because of the Franco-Prussian war. He meets Claude Monet in London, with whom he travels to the Netherlands. Back in Auvers sur Oise he makes the acquaintance of Paul Cézanne aas well as other impressionists. Modern scholars agree that Dubigny was amongst the influences of this new generation of painters. Daubigny is made a Knight of the Legion d'Honneur in 1857, then an officer in 1874, and by the end of his career he is both appreciated and sought after as an artist. Critiques were favorable to him: his technical qualities, his sincerity, the life and freshness of his tones, the fluidity of the atmosphere he created, the simplicity of motifs, the novel greenery, the transparency of water...
