About the Item

Painter Auguste de Molin (1821-1890) was active in Switzerland and France, and specialised in landscapes, views of Île de France and hunting scenes. He studied under the French painter Victor Chavet (1882-1906). De Molin took part in the Salon de Paris between 1850 and 1872. Auguste de Molin is one of the few artists in Lausanne to have clearly participated in the Impressionist movement. He exhibited – together with 165 works realised by thirty artists such as Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas and Claude Monet – at the first impressionist exhibition at Nadar’s former studio at the Boulevard des Capucines in 1874. Nadar - pseudonym of Gaspard-Félix Tournachon (1820-1910) - was a multi talented French photographer, caricaturist, journalist, novelist and balloonist who’s portraits make part of many great photograph collections. Nadar portrayed de Molin. Auguste de Molin, was a good friend of F. Bocion; he also was a professor of painting and drawing in Lausanne (École Vinet et Collège Galliard (Vinet School and College Galliard). He married Eliza Bell in Bradford (England) in 1869; the couple remained childless. The story goes that he was the lover of the famous actress of the Second French Empire, Cora Perl (cq. 1835-1886), when he was in Paris. Pushed by his family, he embarked for Java (1858-1860), on the Nicolas Césaire, a yacht of 60 tons. He narrated this journey in the publication Tour du Monde (World Tour) (Hachette). After his return, he moved to Paris, travelled to Marseille and Algeria; and finally returned home to Lausanne (1885?) to teach drawing. He owned a large collection of Impressionist paintings (which collection has been dispersed). His own work hasn’t been listed.
