Description: | The Dutch artist J. B. Jongkind was described by Paul Signac as 'the first Impressionist'. He arrived in Paris in 1846 at the age of 25 and travelled around France but favoured Normandy. He used his energetic impressionistic technique to evoke his sun-drenched settings. Although admired by many contemporary artists, particularly those of the Barbizon School and Monet, Jongkind lived in poverty and suffered from deteriorating mental health, eventually dying in an asylum near Grenoble in 1891. However, this painting lacks the dramatic contrasts of light and shade associated with the artist and has therefore been more recently attributed to an unknown artist, probably French of the second half of the nineteenth century. | Subjects: | marine (sailing boat); figure (two female figures standing at shoreline) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: French School Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Jongkind, Johan Barthold (Dutch painter and printmaker, 1819-1891, active in France) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8343... | Go to resource |
