About the Item

Late 19h century, French Impressionnistic oïl on panel, sign lower left Louis Alexandre Dubourg. It depicts an "Scène Champêtre à la Ferme Saint Siméon" Normandy, circa 1870. Louis Alexandre Dubourg, French painter, was born in 1821 or 1825 in Honfleur (Calvados). Died in 1891 in Honfleur. From a modest family, he works as vendor, dedicating his leisure activities to painting. His meeting with the painter Gustave Hamelin will be décisive for his career, this was the one who encouraged him to go to Paris. In 1841, Louis Alexandre Dubourg was Léon Cogniez pupil and had the opportunity to work with painters, among whom Félix Cals, who will join him later to Honfleur. Because of his humble personality, Louis Alexandre Dubourg decided to flee Paris, preferring his native region. He becomes Pont-Audemer middle school art teacher, then to the school of Honfleur, where he settled down definitively continuing to participate in Salons of the Champs-Elysées from 1859 till 1889. From this period, all his paintings, watercolors and drawings evoked life in Honfleur with discreet compositions in clear tones, handled by small impressionistic touches, in a concern of description and precision, close to Corot Style. His watercolors, faster and more nerveux than his paintings, showed more freedom styles. In Honfleur, he leads a very out-of-wal existence, dedicating his pare time to Saint-Siméon place, where he meet Cals, Monet and Boudin. Thanks to them he managed to built in 1869 a muséum, of which he became the museum currator. Most of Louis Alexandre Dubourg paintings have been preserved there, as well as to Vieux-Honfleur, Fécamp and Trouville museums, and also to School of Fine Arts of Caen, Pau and Rouen. Moreover two reviews were dedicated to Louis Alexandre Dubourg by the Honfleur museum in 1970 and 1985.
