Para-Impressionists

Related painters

Introduction:
On this page you will find (in alphabetical order) short info on related artists. Artists that were invited for the ‘impressionist’ expositions (1874-86), but didn’t join. Artists that were involved with earlier initiatives for independent exhibitions. Artists that joined (international) exhibitions that were called “impressionist” (1882-1914). Artists that belonged to impressionist circles of friends, like Manet and Bazille. Artists with whom the ‘impressionists’ did meet and paint.
You will find short info related to the ‘impressionists’ and the Paris Salon. In general it is interesting to see if these ‘Para-Impressionists’ used elements of the impressionist painting style and in what way they did differ from it. You will also find links to more info and pictures. I discern these painters from the Pre-Impressionists, the neo-impressionist, the post-impressionists. Some I describe on the pages concerning Realism and Naturalism. See here for the general references (=R) and here for the references to internet pages (=iR).
Note: of many painters more info still has to be added.

Agard, Charles-Jean (1866-1922):
Attended the École des Beaux-Arts. Pupil of Bonnat. Supported by Puvis de Chavannes↓. Exhibited 1893 onwards at the Salon des Indépendants, at the Salon d’Automne and from 1914 till 1942 (?) at the Salon de la Société National des Beaux-Arts. Made still-lifes and landscapes. Was focussed on the rendering of the light. (R16,p62)

Armand-Dumaresq (Charles-Édouard) (1826-95):
In 1886 Durand-Ruel lent one painting of his to the famous exhibition of Paris Impressionists in New York.
Armand-Dumaresq was born in Paris as Charles-Édouard Armand. His mother’s maiden name was Dumaresq. He was a pupil of Thomas Couture. Made his debut at the Salon in 1851 with a religious scene (he namely also exhibited in 1873 +75 +79). Received at the Salon a 3rd class medal in 1861 + in 1863 (rappèl). In 1867 member of the jury for the Exposition Universelle. Was appointed Légion d’Honneur as Chevalier in 1867 (for his work Cambronne à Waterloo, that was commissioned by Napoléon III and exhibited at the Exposition Universelle). In 1870 he made a study trip to the USA. Was appointed in the Légion d’Honneur as Officier in 1881. Exibited Hors Concours. Was member of the Société des Artistes Français.

Authier, Lubin:
Authier was mentioned by Paul Alexis 1873/05/12 as one of the artists involved in organizing an independent exhibition (R22I,p104;R88II,p395). His name returns as Lubin Authier in the 20+ list, indicating he lived 350, rue St-Jacques. I can’t find additional information on him (R9;R88).

Bastien-Lepage, Jules (1848-84):
Mainly known as a Naturalist, see link.

Bazille, Frédéric (1841-70):
See seperate page.

Beaume:
Beaume had payed contribution but (R1,p339;R2,p105; iR424). ‘Beaume’ was in alphabetical order in the list om members that had to pay their contributionfor the ‘Société anonyme des artistes peintres, sculpteurs, graveurs, etc‘. He wasn’t one of the subscribers 1873/12/27, so I assume he joined early 1874. He didn’t exhibit at the 1st ‘impressionist’ exposition in 1874. He hadn’t paid his contribution, nor for the financial year 73/74 as for that of 74/75.
Except for this last name, I have no further information on him. Maybe he was the Joseph Beaume (1796-1885), who regularly exhibited at the Salon, also in 1872 and 1874. It is unknown if he didn’t submit in 1873 or that he was rejected. Anyway he didn’t exhibit at the Salon des Refusés in 1873. Looking at his age and his success at the Salon and having received an assignment by Louis-Philippe to make large battle scenes (that are now in Versailles), I don’t think it was this Joseph Beaum. Still, this is suggested by a solid French internet site (iR424). He is not mentioned by Monneret in his dictionairy on Impressionism (R88). Maybe there is more information in the correspondence of the ‘impressionistes’.

Brisset:
A ‘Brisset‘ was mentioned in the 20+ list of names of artists (that were to be invited as subsribers of the Société…) (R415,p360). He wasn’t one of the subscribers 1873/12/27, nor one of the paying members, nor did he exhibit at the 1st ‘impressionist’ exposition in 1874 (R410,p103;R415,p366).
It was noted that he lived 19, rue de Delta. This is where Pierre-Nicolas Brisset (1810-90) also lived. Pierre-Nicolas had won the Prix de Rome in 1840. He exhibited regularly at the Salon, anyway also in 1872 +73 (not in 1874). He received assignements from the State and churches. He made many large historical and religious scenes and also flower still-lifes. (R9,p128) All this doesn’t make it very likely, that this Pierre-Nicolas was invited. Maybe he had a son that still lived at home and also was an artist. Brisset is not mentioned by Monneret in his dictionairy on Impressionism (R88). Maybe there is more information in the correspondence of the ‘impressionistes’.

Chapuis (?):
A ‘Chapuis’ was mentioned in the 20+ list of names of artists (that were to be invited as subsribers of the Société…) (R415,p360). Maybe his name must be written a bit different, because it is hard to descipher. It was noted that he was a sculptor and lived 116, rue d’Assas, but this was the same address as of Gill↓, who was mentioned just before, so maybe this was a writting error. In 1872 there was a Honoré Chapuis who showed a portrait at the Salon, so a painting, and who lived in Besançon. There also was a Pierre Chapuis born in 1863 (R9,p166), maybe he was related.

A ‘Desbrosses, peintre, rue de Seine, 47’ was subscriber of the ‘Société des Artistes Peintres, Sculpteurs, Graveurs et Lithographes‘ (R410,p103).

His name was not listed as one of the contributers (R415,p366), nor in the 20+ list (R415,p360).

André Gill was born as Louis-Alexandre Gosset de Guines in Paris. He was a friend of Daumier and also was connected with Cézanne, Pissarro, Renoir, probably Boudin and Cals and also with Villiers de L’Isle Adam and Cabaner. He attended meetings at Nina de Callias, docteur Gachet and Murer and the farm Saint-Siméon in Honfleur. He was a painter, engraver and caricaturist in a Realist tradition. He didn’t exhibit at the Salon in 1872, nor 1874, but in 1875 he was appreciated by Castagnary. He at least exhibited also in 1876 +1882.

Gonzalès, Eva (1849-83):
A pupil of Manet and Charles Chaplin (1825-1891). Painted a small oeuvre with a varying quality. Often used clear contours and used subdued colours. Depicted merely portraits and landscapes. Maried with Guérard. Died after the birth of her first child. (R3,171/2;R16,p157; iR59😉

Grandhomme:
There is a ‘Grandhomme’ mentioned as contributor of the ‘Société anonyme des artistes peintres, sculpteurs, graveurs, etc‘. He was not obliged to pay for the financial year 73/74. For 74/75 he had paid 6fr, was due to pay another 51,25fr. He didn’t exhibit at the 1st ‘impressionist’ exposition in 1874 and had the intention to join the next year.
Maybe he is the same as Paul Grandhomme (1851-1944) a medalist, engraver and enameller, who exhibited at the Salon of 1874.

Guillemet, (Jean-Baptiste-) Antoine (1843-1918):
Renoir would meet Antoine Guillemet 1873/12/06, to ask him to subscribe to the ‘Société anonyme des artistes peintres, sculpteurs, graveurs, etc‘, but Guillemet refused, though in 1867 he had sub-scribed the plea of Bazille for an independant exposition. He was congratulated by Corot for his choice not to be involved in this gang and received a 2nd class medal at the Salon of 1874 (no.878, Bercy, en décembre). He had made his debut at the Salon in 1865 and would exhibit regularly. In 1876 he received a Rappel. In 1878 he showed 3 and in 1889 seven works at the ‘Oeuvres d’Art’ during the Exposition Universelle. In 1882 he took part of the jury of the Salon and in 1900 of the Exposition Universelle, where he showed 5 landscapes hors concours. He was appointed in the Légion d’Honneur  in 1880 as Chevalier and in 1896 as Officier.
Guillemet was born in Chantilly (Oise). Related to pre-impressionists like Corot, Courbet and Daubigny, to ‘impressionists’ like Cézanne, Degas, Monet, Morisot and Pissarro; and to related painters like Bazille, Fantin-Latour, Manet and Stevens. He painted many landscapes and views of Paris.

Dona Guyot (?):
‘Dona Guyot’ (?) had payed contribution for the ‘Société anonyme des artistes peintres, sculpteurs, graveurs, etc‘, but didn’t exhibit at the 1st ‘impressionist’ exposition in 1874. She had payed 61,25fr for the first financial year (73/74) and already 20fr for the second (74/75), which is more than any other member.
The Salon database (iR1) mentions a Mlle Marie(-Louise-Victorine) Guyot, who was born in Troyes, a pupil of M. Challard (and also Vignal) and who exhibited at the Salon of 1878 +79 +80 +86. She lived in Sens (Yonne) and gave as correspondence address M. Myon, rue Brochant, 47 (Batignolles). She showed only charcoal drawings mostly made around her hometown.
WikiPedia doesn’t render any information on Guyot. Some sources mentions a Louise J. Guyot being active in the 19th century (see; iR15), which doesn’t give much guidance. Another source mentions a Louise Guyot who was active between 1841-45 (iR173), which could refer to Mme Louise Guyot who exhibited at the Salon of 1845 and earlier. This could correspond with Wikidata refering to Benezit mentioning a Louise Guyot active between 1820-45 (iR66). There is a Louise J. Guyot mentioned (1869-1927), which was to young to be a contributor (iR13; iR11). Invaluable renders two dates for this Louise J. Guyot: this 1869-1927 and 1841-89 (R17); these last dates would be more plausible. Artprice mentions an E.J. Louise Guyot active between 1841-89 (iR16). Askart mentions a Louise J. Guyot born 1841 living till about 1927 (iR41).
Note: the J. and the E.J. don’t corresponded with the Mlle Marie(-Louise-Victorine) from the Salon database.
I hope in the future it will become more clear who this ‘Dona Guyot’ was.

Henner, Jean-Jacques (1829-1905):
Jean-Jacques Henner refused to join the 1st ‘impressionist’ exposition in 1874. He was approached by Degas (in 1874). Probably Philippe Burty (1874/04/16) referred to him writing ‘A member of the Jury, has even promised to join the show. His absence, at the last moment, will only be platonically regretted.’
Note: Henner can better be seen as a meta-impressionist.

Huguet, Victor-Pierre (1835-1902):
Victor-Pierre Huguet was born in Le Lude (Sarthe). He was a pupil of Émile Loubon in Marseille and later of Eugène Fromentin. He made his debut at the Salon in 1859 and would regularly exhibit till 1888, when he exhibited hors concours and was a member of the Société des Artistes Français. In 1886 Durand-Ruel lent 3 paintings to the famous exhibition of Paris Impressionists in New York. From 1895-99 he exhibited at the Salon de la Société des Peintres Orientalistes Français (iR3). He mainly was an Orientalist painter rendering many scenes in Istanbul, Algeria, Egypt and Libya depicting namely Bedouin, encampments and horseriding (in the desert).

Le Coeur, Jules(-François) (1832-82):
His wife died in 1862. Gave up architecture for painting. Probably followed lessons at Gleyre, where he probably met Renoir. Early 1865 accompanying his submitting to the Salon, Renoir gave the address of Jules le Coeur, which was 43, Avenue d’Eyleau, now 43, Victor Hugo, Paris (see =iR21). In 1865 Jules le Coeur bought the villa ‘La Tour’ in 16, Rue Murger, Bourron-Marlotte  near Fontainebleau (R8,p295; see); Renoir who was a close friend of him, often stayed there. Here Renoir did meet his model Lise Tréhot. In 1866 he was 2x a model for Renoir (R30,no.11+14). In 1868 his brother Charles gave Renoir commission to decorate his ceilings.

Prins, Pierre (1838-1913):
The French WikiPedia site claims that Pierre Prins was one of the subscribers 1873/12/27 (iR4), but this isn’t true (R410,p103). The page on Pierre Prins (iR4), refers to an article in Le Point (2015/04/15) by Frédéric Lewino et Gwendoline Dos Santos writing ‘he entrusted twelve paintings to his childhood friend, the sculptor Émile Philippe Scailliet (1846-1911), so that he could hand them over to Alfred Sisley, who was to bring them to the studio’ (=of Nadar, where the 1st ‘impressionist’ exposition was held). The same notification is found in other sources (R88I,p683; R9,p602). Pierre Prins wasn’t in the 20+ list of names of artists (that were to be invited as subscribers of the Société…) (R415,p360). I wonder if his name appears in the correspondence of the ‘impressionists’.
In 1869 he married Fanny Claus, who was portrayed by Manet in Le Balçon (1868/69). Pierre Prins had connections with Manet, Raffaëlli, Sisley and also Astruc, Guillemet, and Mallarmé. Later he met Sérusier, Schuffenecker, filiger and Jean Puy in Pont-Aven and Poldu. He was inspired by Barbizon painters like Corot and Daubigny. He also painted in the forest of Fontainebleau and also in the vallée of Chevreuse, the surroundings of Paris and in England. In his works there are many impressionist influences, rendering the effects of season, weather conditions and time of day. He also made many pastels.
He exhibited at the Salon from 1879-1912 (including at the Salon de la Société National des Beaux-Arts). He was one of the co-founders of the Expositions Internationale de Peinture at Georges Petit, who also organised solo-expositions in 1890, 1895 and namely 1907.

It was noted that he lived 5, Rue des Rosiers. There was also an Ernest Quost that exhibited at least in 1872 +74 at the Salon and in 1873 at the Salon des Refusés. He was born in Avallon (Yonne). In 1872 +73 he lived 71, Rue de Laval and in 1874 30, Rue de la Fontenelle (Montmartre). So, the addresses don’t correspond.
Ernest Quost (1842-1931) was born in Avallon (Yonne). He was a pupil of Henri Aumont. He was a painter, but also a ceramist working for the Manufacture de Sèvres. He painted many flower still-lifes, portraits and city views (of Paris). As an engraver he was involved with Paris à l’eau-forte. Art-collectors, like Gachet, Hoschedé, Roger Marx and Ernest Rouart bought his work. The latter had asked him to join the ‘impressionist’ expositions. Vincent van Gogh, who had met him with Père Tanguy, wrote positively about him.

Rios, Ricardo de los:
Los Rios was invited by Monet to join the ‘Société Anonyme…’ . Some state that, it was probably he who refused because he didn’t want to oppose the State, while being a foreign (Spanish) citizen, probably referring to Monet his letter of 1873/05/12. But, in this same letter Monet announces to go and meet Los Rios, hoping he will have more luck. He also was in the list of 20+, where it was indicated that he lived 11, boulevard Montparnasse (R415,p366).
Born in Spain. Pupil of Pils. Had connections with Grancesco Oller and docteur Gachet.

Rosse, Alfred:
Alfred Rosse was mentioned in the 20+ list of names of artists (that were to be invited as subscribers of the Société…) (R415,p360), but he had no further involvement in the ‘Société anonyme des artistes peintres, sculpteurs, graveurs, etc‘. It was noted that he was a sculptor and lived 78, avenue de Breteuil. He exhibited a terracotta bust at the Salon des Refusés in 1873. Here it was noted that he was a pupil of M. Gouffroy (iR1). I couln’t find any additional information (R9; R88I).

Rouart, Ernest (1874-1942):
Born as Ernest Henri Rouart in 1874 in Paris as son of Henri Rouart. Married in 1900 Julie Manet, the daughter of Berthe Morisot and Eugène Manet. Exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants (1903-11).
Sources: R93;R229,p1491/2.

Rousselin, Auguste-Joseph (1840ca-?):
Rousselin was noted as one of the subscribers of the ‘Socété des Artistes Peintres, Sculpteurs, Graveurs et Lithographes‘ 1873/12/27 (R410,p103). Consequently he didn’t join the 1st ‘impressionist’ exposition and he wasn’t one of the contributors (R415,p366). It was noted that he lived 194, Boulevard Pereire.
He was born around 1840 in Paris. For a few months he studied at the studio of Thomas Couture and later at Atelier Gleyre. He made his debut at the Salon in 1863. He was portrayed by Manet in his Le Déjeuner (1868). He was related to Manet, Degas, Sisley and Renoir. In 1873 Auguste Rousselin exhibited a hunting scene at the Salon des Refusés. He depicted portraits, genre pieces, horses, markets and landscapes. Schurr&Cabanne write he painted in an impressionist style (R9,p639). A work of Sisley (1CR12) entered in 1901 the Musée de Grenoble form the bequest of Rousselin.

Ryssel, Paul van (1828-1909):
Pseudonym for Dr. Paul Gachet, born in 1828 in Lille (=Rijssel) and died 1909 in Auvers-sur-Oise. He was a doctor, an art-collector and supporter of the Impressionists. Had painted with Camille Pissarro in Auvers. He also was an amateur painter and etcher. He exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants, some say yearly, anyway in 1891-93 + 1903-09.
Sources: R229,p705/6;R312,p184.

Mlle Jeanne Samson:
Mlle Sanson (sic?) was mentioned in the 20+ list of names of artists (that were to be invited as subscribers of the Société…) (R415,p360), but he had no further involvement in the ‘Société anonyme des artistes peintres, sculpteurs, graveurs, etc‘. It was noted that she lived at 72, rue de Rivoli. Mlle Jeanne Samson, born in Lyon and pupil of M. Fichel, exhibited (at least) at the Salon of 1872 +73 +74 (iR1). In 1872 she also lived at 72, rue de Rivoli. But in the Spring of 1873 (and 1874) her address is noted as 22, rue de Monsieur-le-Prince. Does this mean that the 20+ list was made very early 1873? Or is another Mlle Sanson mentioned? I couldn’t find additional information (R9;R88I).

Séguin, Arsène Gilles:
Séguin was born in Saint-Malo (Îlle-et-Vilaine). He exhibited yearly at the Salon des Indépendants (1884-1914+). He seems quite forgotten, I can’t find any additonal information.
Sources: R229,p1569/70;

Serret, Charles (1824-1900):
Born in Aubenas (Ardèche). Pupil of Hippolyte Flandrin, Charles Comte and Louis Lamothe. Debut at the Salon of 1861 and exhibited here regularly. Durand-Ruel lent 10 pastels and/or watercolours of him to the famous exhibition of Paris Impressionists in New York in 1886. Made genre paintings and portraits (of children).
Sources: R9,p667; R334/iR19. More info and pictures: WikiPedia (iR3); WikiMedia (iR6).

Simon, Lucien (1861-1945):
One of his works was exhibited in the “impressionist” room at an exhibition in Rome in 1913.
Sources: iR216;

Solari, Philippe (1840-1906):
Philippe Solari was noted as one of the subscribers of the ‘Socété des Artistes Peintres, Sculpteurs, Graveurs et Lithographes‘ 1873/12/27 (R410,p103). So, I think it is not right to say that he rejected the invitation of Monet (R22I,p107). Consequently he didn’t join the 1st ‘impressionist’ exposition and he wasn’t one of the contributors (R415,p366). It was noted that he was a sculptor and that he lived rue d’Enfer 33.
Solari was born in Aix-en-Provence and was a youthfriend of Cézanne and Zola. He often exhibited at the Salon.

Stevens, Alfred (1823-1906):

Tissot, James (1836-1902):
Degas was not able to persuade Tissot, who lived in England, to join the ‘Société anonyme des artistes peintres, sculpteurs, graveurs, etc‘, though Degas pointed at the dozen notices in the newspapers prior to the exposition. Degas had written him the 27th of March or the 3rd of April.
Actually Tissot is called Jacques Joseph. Befriended with Degas and related painters like Manet and Whistler. 1859: Debut at the Salon. 1871: participates in the Paris Commune; afterwards emigrates to England. 1874 or 75: with Manet to Venice. 1882: Returns to Paris. Member of the Société des Aquarellistes Français in 1887 (iR19). 1889: Golden medal at the ‘Exposition International Universelle’. (R3,p217). Renders a lot of detail; in that sense no impressionist.

Vernier, Emile-Louis :
Vernier was mentioned in the 20+ list of names of artists (that were to be invited as subscribers of the Société…) (R415,p360), but he had no further involvement in the ‘Société anonyme des artistes peintres, sculpteurs, graveurs, etc‘. It was noted that he lived 19, rue de Constantinople. The Salon database makes clear that Emile-Louis Vernier lived there in the Spring of 1873 (+1874). In the Spring of 1872 he still lived at 40, rue Fontaine-Saint-Georges. He was born in Lons-le-Saunier and was a pupil of M. Colette. At the Salon he exhibited paintings and also many lithographes. Note that 1873/12/27 the Société had the addition ‘Lithographes’.
I couldn’t find additional information (R9;R88I).

Visconti:
Visconti was mentioned by Paul Alexis, 1873/05/12 as one of the artists involved in organizing an independent exhibition (R22I,p104; R88II,p395). But he isn’t mentioned in any other source concerning the ‘Société anonyme des artistes peintres, sculpteurs, graveurs, etc‘.
Antoine Visconti, was born in Milan educated at the Académie de Milan and lived 31, avenue Trudaine (iR1). Exhibited at the Salon, at least in 1869.
Alphonse Visconti exhibited yearly from 1878 till 1886 at the Salon (iR1). He also was born in Milan and a pupil of M. Cappelli, Vallon (or Vollon) and J-B Lavastre. In 1878 he lived 7, rue Durantin (Montmartre).
I couldn’t find additional info in sources (R9;R88;R3;R1;R5). Some sources mention a Belgian artist Giuseppe Antonio A. Visconti (1830-80) (iR7); iR16;). Other sources mention a Alphonse Adolfo Feragutti Visconti (1850-1924) (iR17; ). Others an A. Visconti (iR45;). Google images shows some results on Alphonse Visconti including one born in 1856 and died in 1941 (iR10).
