Plate: 5 1/4 x 9 1/8 inSheet: 11 x 16 in As famous for his original etchings as for his paintings, Charles-Francois Daubigny (1817-1878) holds a prime position in mid-nineteenth century French art. A leading artist of the great Barbizon landscape school, Daubigny directly influenced the following generation of Impressionist painters. At the age of nineteen Daubigny began formal art studies in the Paris studio of Paul Delaroche. His first exhibited works of art were shown at the Paris Salon in 1838 and during the following decades he obtained numerous medals and awards for both his etchings and paintings. Daubigny regarded etching as a vital force in his art. Between 1838 and the year of his death he created more than one hundred and fifty works of art in the graphic mediums -- far more than his fellow Barbizon artists, Millet and Corot. Mainly self-taught as an etcher, Daubigny's graphic art has been actively collected for over one hundred and fifty years.
