Colin: 1st impressionist exposition

 

 

Impressionism, a historical reconstruction:

Gustave Colin

(1829-1910?)

An impression of his pictures at the 

1st ‘impressionist’ exposition in 1874

 

What pictures did Colin show at the 1st ‘impressionist’ exposition?
On this page you will find an accounted impression of the 6 pictures that Gustave Colin showed at the 1st ‘impressionist’ exposition of 1874 (catalogue numbers 45-49). The number of works known of Colin is limited, see overview. Colin didn’t date many pictures, he often repeated the same themes, there is no Catalogue Raisonné of his works, nor a recent extended (exhibition) catalogue. All this makes identification very hard. So most of my suggestions are very uncertain or just to compare. For each work I render more than 1 suggestion. 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 Gustave Colin. Note: If you double click on the first (of a cluster of) pictures and then click on full screen, you can create a slideshow. On a smartphone or laptop you can also zoom in. Enjoy!
