Impressionism
Probably the only French Impressionist who died poorer than he was when he started painting, he showed five paintings at the First Impressionist Exhibition.
A prolific painter who was moderately successful in the Salon, a key influence on Impressionism, and Monet’s first mentor, yet is now almost forgotten.
Although invited to show his paintings at the First Impressionist Exhibition, he declined, and has since been excluded from the list of Impressionists, and forgotten.
A pupil of Corot, he was a friend of core Impressionists, but never an Impressionist himself. He painted views of the River Seine in Paris.
Greatly influenced by Corot, he painted landscapes in Impressionist style from his studio in Biarritz, but was isolated from Impressionism.
Michallon taught Camille Corot, who in turn taught Camille Pissarro. In their early Impressionist years, Pissarro painted alongside Cézanne.
Two hundred years ago today, Achille Michallon died, the most brilliant landscape painter of his day in Europe. He was only 25.
A brilliant landscape painter taught by Valenciennes, who in turn taught Corot. Died at the age of only 25 from pneumonia.
Probably the best-known of those who showed work at the First Impressionist Exhibition, he was an influential art critic, writer and painter, best remembered now for his sculpture.
