The catalogue of the exhibition to be shown at the
Cornell Fine Arts Museum, Winter Park, FL and the Frye Art Museum, Seattle, WA will present a choice selection of 19th century French paintings from the
Musée des Beaux - Arts, Reims in order to trace the history of French art from the Romantics, to the
School of Barbizon, the circle of Honfleur, and up to Impressionism.
The Musée des Beaux - Arts, Reims owns the second largest collection of works by Jean - Baptiste Camille
Corot after the Louvre as well as excellent landscape
paintings by artists from the Barbizon School. Corot
was one of the most significant painters involved with the Barbizonists. Studying the Reims holdings further it seemed evident to edit a catalogue and curate an
exhibition that reach from the romantic spirit in French landscape painting to the School of Barbizon on to the group of artists around Eugène - Louis Boudin
at Honfleur
-- the true cradle of Impressionism
-- and lastly to the Impressionists Claude Monet, Camille
Pissarro and Pierre - Auguste Renoir.
