One Of The Most Famous French Artist

Do you wonder sometimes who famous artist's are? Well I can tell you that I think the same too, especially when it comes to painting in the same style they used and that's when I really need to pay attention. Do you know who this artist is? Here are some clues

(1840 - 1926)

1. His father ran a grocery business
2. His mother was an opera singer
3. April 1st 1851 he entered LeHarve secondary school of arts.
4. When in Paris he saw other painters copying their masters works but he would sit by the window and paint what he saw.

In Paris he met other young painters who became friends and fellow impressionists.

He was influenced by Eugene Boudin, Johan Jongkind and Goustare Courvet. Boudin taught him how to use oils as well as outdoor painting techniques.
