Lecture Daubigny, Monet, Van Gogh in Van Gogh Museum

Daubigny (1817-1878), as founding father of Impressionism, was a major source of inspiration for Vincent van Gogh. In the mid-19th century an increasing number of artists headed into nature to capture the landscape. Daubigny adopted an extremely personal approach to his depictions of nature. With his loose, sketch-like technique and novel compositions, he redefined the genre. Daubigny had a strong influence on Impressionists such as Monet, Pissarro and Sisley. In turn, he himself was also inspired by this younger generation of artists. Daubigny also served as a shining example to Vincent van Gogh.

Van Gogh considered him to be one of the forerunners in the ‘beginning of the great revolution in art’. During the lecture Carien Kanters will illustrates the interaction between Daubigny and the Impressionists, and the French artist's influence on Vincent van Gogh.

Please note, this lecture takes place at the Vrije Academie, Keizersgracht 258, Amsterdam.
