Charles François Daubigny
Le Bateau a Conflans/Le Paysagiste au Bateau

c. 1870

About the Item

"Le Bateau a Conflans/Le Paysagiste au Bateau" or "The Boat at Conflans/Landscape with Boat" is an original etching by Charles Francois Daubigny. Daubigny is often considered one of the most important precursors to Impressionism. This was Delteil #119 and is part of a very rare 1st state. It depicts a small boat with two people aboard in a shining body of water. Signs of industry coexist with nature here: smoke rises in the background just as the trees do. 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" art 14" x 15 1/2" frame Charles Francois Daubigny, French landscape painter, allied in several ways with the Barbizon School, was born in Paris on the 15th of February 1817, but spent much time as a child at Valmondois, a village on the Oise to the northwest of Paris. Daubigny was the son of an artist, and most of his family were painters. He began to paint very early in life, and at the age of seventeen he took a studio of his own. Within twelve months he had saved enough to go to Italy, where he studied and painted for nearly two years; he then returned to Paris, not to leave it again until, in 1860, he took a house at Auvers on the Oise. By 1837 Daubigny had become famous as a river and landscape painter, although he had been devoting himself as well to drawing in black-and-white, to etching, wood engraving, and lithography. In 1855 his picture, "Lock at Optevoz", now in the Louvre, was purchased by the state; four years later Daubigny was created knight of the Legion of Honor, and in 1874 he was promoted to be an officer. In 1866, at the invitation of Frederick Leighton and others, he visited London, where, however, he was hurt by his now famous "Moonlight" being badly hung in the Old Royal Academy. But the personal encouragement of his admirers in England made up for the disappointment, and the sale of his picture to a Royal Academician greatly pleased him. In 1870-71 he again visited London, and subsequently Holland, where he painted a number of river scenes with windmills. In 1874, having returned to Paris, he fell ill, and from that time until he died (on the 19th of February 1878) his work won less distinction than before. In 1904 the municipality of Auvers-sur-Oise decided to erect a bronze monument to Daubigny's memory.

  • "Conversation Outside Castle, " an Etching by Jan Frans van Bloemen
    By Jan Frans van Bloemen (Orizzonte)
    Located in Milwaukee, WI
    "Conversation Outside Castle" is an original etching by Jan Frans van Bloemen. It depicts a number of figures just outside the majestic walls of a castle. These groups of figures are engaged in their own conversations. 9" x 6 3/4" art 21 5/8" x 19 3/8" frame Jan Frans van Bloemen (baptized 12 May 1662 - buried 13 June 1749) was a Flemish landscape painter mainly active in Rome. Here he was able to establish himself as the leading painter of views (vedute) of the Roman countryside depicted in the aesthetic of the classical landscape tradition. Van Bloemen predominantly painted classical landscapes, taking his inspiration from the Roman Campagna. His landscapes, with their recession through a series of planes, soft, warm lightning and classical and religious subject matter, drew on the examples of artists such as Claude Lorrain and Gaspard Dughet. His paintings are exquisitely imbued with that "difficult-to-define pastoral ambience" which helped to make him such a great painter in the eyes of his contemporaries. The technique and subjects of the work of Jan Frans van Bloemen are also related to painters such as Jan Asselijn...
