Charles François Daubigny, 1817–1878; born Paris, France; died Paris
x1941-101
A close friend and painting companion of Corot, Daubigny was among the first French artists in the nineteenth century to become interested in working exclusively en plein air, outdoors, capturing rapidly fleeting aspects of nature on canvases that bear the informal qualities of a sketch. His reputation as a naturalist painter, draftsman, and printmaker was secure by 1871, when this black chalk drawing of a river scene in Holland was created. Daubigny’s work is seen today to have provided an important link between the idealized romantic landscapes of Gustave Courbet and the closely observed Impressionism of Claude Monet.
