Cordey pictures

Frédéric-Samuel Cordey

(1854-1911)

Most of his pictures

a thematical overview

 

 

Introduction:
On this page you will find an overview of the pictures of Frédéric Cordey. I render the titles of works he exhibited (see account), titles I found in books, titles of works that were auctioned and an overview of known works (iR251;iR260;aR7).  And I render all the pictures I could find on Cordey, when possible combining these data. Unfortunately many pictures are of a poor quality. I render all these works in a thematical order. Sometimes I render a picture or a title more than once, when it fits in more than one theme. I hope this will help in the research after this great, but forgotten Impressionist.
In books about Impressionism there are no paintings of Cordey, except in Walther (R3,p384), Schurr & Cabanne (2008,R9,p194) and Adler (1998=R89,no45). Some refer to him as a model in paintings of others, in particular Renoir (R1,p382+383). There are just a view paintings of Cordey in musea:
