Description: | Signed: yes Description: Like Courbet and his close friend Bonvin, Ribot chose to work in a realistic manner drawing his subjects from the daily life he observed around him. Like both these artists Ribot played a part in the revival of still life as a suitable subject for art and it is interesting to compare this small work with paintings by Courbet, Bonvin, Vollon and Fantin-Latour also in the collection of Glasgow Museums. Ribot found a supporter in Bonvin who exhibited Ribot's canvases along with those of Vollon, Fantin-Latour and Whistler in his studio in 1859. Ribot was also a close friend of Boudin. In April 1865, Boudin, in a letter to his brother, described how Ribot had been a magnificent help to him, encouraging him to persevere in his own path despite the advice of others. | Subjects: | still life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Ribot, Augustin Théodule (French painter and printmaker, 1823-1891) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8293... | Go to resource |
