Impressionism, a historical reconstruction:

(1822-1876)

Most of his pictures

a topographical & thematical overview

 

Introduction:
What pictures are known of Pierre-Isidore Bureau? What pictures did he exhibit at the ‘impressionist’ expositions and at the Salon? I found just 11 works of Bureau. I render them all. In the subscriptions I will give suggestions which works might have been exhibited at the 1st ‘impressionist’ exposition of 1874 and at the 2nd ‘impressionist’ exposition in 1876 and at the Salon. 1 work is often given more than once as an option. Next I will render a topographical and thematical overview of the titles of the pictures he exhibited. See link for an account. For explanations and sources see at the bottom of the main page about Pierre-Isidore Bureau.
Further down this page I will render a thematical overview of the titles of his (exhibited) works. Enjoy!

Sources: I found less than 10 pictures of Pierre-Isidore Bureau:
In books on Impressionism only Walther shows a work of Pierre-Isidore Bureau (R3,p55). On the internet Wikimedia renders 2 pictures of Bureau (iR6), the-Athenaeum 3 (iR2), eclecticlight 4 (aR1), theartstack 3 (iR68), Joconde 3 (iR23), Google-images 7, including a rare one (iR10). Artnet mentions auctions of 3 works without rendering a picture ( iR13). Yet most sources render the same paintings so in total I found less than 10 works of Bureau. Additionaly I found two etchings after 2 works he had exhibited at the Salon of 1868 (R265,no8+9=iR40).
