New! Johan Barthold Jongkind and His Paintings
Johann-Barthold Jongkind (1819 - 1891), Dutch landscape painter, mainly lived in France where he was highly esteemed by the artistic community and art lovers.
Known as “the painter of Honfleur and Paris streets”, Manet used to call him “the father of the modern landscape”, and young painters such as Monet, who was his pupil at his beginnings and called him his “true master”, were seduced by his stylistic daring and his landscapes which, as soon as 1860, were signs of Impressionism.
