Movement(s): –

Norbert Goeneutte (1854 – 1894) was a Paris born painter/etcher, who started out working in a lawyer’s office, but this did not suit him. He then started a life as a painter, travelling through Europe.

He not only was a painter, but he was also a very accomplished book illustrator, he notably illustrated “La Terre” by Emile Zola.

He died quite young, 40 years of age, and was buried next to Vincent van Gogh.

You can see some of his works at the Muma Museum of Le Havre.
