Etretat – The Artists – Daubigny, Charles-Francois
Charles-Francois Daubigny, French, was one of the painters of the Barbizon school, and is considered an important precursor of impressionism. He was also a prolific printmaker, mostly in etching but also as one of the main artists to use the cliche verre technique.
Initially Daubigny painted in a traditional style, but this changed after 1843 when he settled in Barbizon to work outside in nature.
Here is one of his paintings of Etretat, Normandy.
