Impressionism, a historical reconstruction:

Léon Ottin

(1836-1918)

An impression of his art-works at the

1st ‘impressionist’ exposition in 1874

What art-works did Léon Ottin show at the 1st ‘impressionist’ exposition?
On this page you will find an accounted impression of the 7 art-works that Léon-Auguste Ottin showed at the 1st ‘impressionist’ exposition of 1874 (catalogue numbers 129-135). It included 1 lithograph and a ‘project for a theater curtain’, probably a drawing. The identification of these 7 art-works is quite impossible. None of the pictures were described by the art-critics (R90II,p3) and there are not many pictures known of Léon Ottin (see overview). So, to compare I render (combinations) of other works of Léon Ottin and works of other artists and even photo’s. See the link for an account. See link for an explanation of the subscriptions. See for the used sources below at the main page about Léon-Auguste Ottin. Note: If you double click on the first picture and then click on full screen, you can create a slideshow. On a smartphone or laptop you can also zoom in. Enjoy!
