    Johan Barthold JONGKIND, 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 ung painters such as Monet, who was his pupil at his beginnings and called him his "true master", were seduced bygd his stylistic daring and his landscapes which, as soon as 1860,were signs of Impressionism.

    Biography

    [edit]

    Jongkind was born in the town of Lattrop in the Overijssel province of the Netherlands near the border with Germany. Trained at the art academy in The Hague under Andreas Schelfhout, in 1846 he moved to Montparnasse in Paris, France where he studied under Eugène Isabey and François-Édouard Picot. Two years later, the Paris Salon accepted his work for its exhibition, and he received acclaim from critic Charles Baudelaire and later on from Émile Zola. He was to experience little success, however, and he suffered bouts of depression complicated by alcoholism.[1]

    Jongkind returned to live in Rotterdam in 1855, and remained there until 1860.[1] Back
