Impressionism: a historical reconstruction

Charles-Victor Tillot

(1825-1906)

At the 3rd impressionist exposition in 1877

an impression of his exhibited art-works

 

Which art-works did Tillot exhibit in 1877?
On this page you will find an accounted impression of the 14 art-works that Charles Tillot showed at the 3rd ‘impressionist’ exposition in 1877 (catalogue numbers 228-241). There were 5 reviews, but there are hardly pictures known of Tillot, so identification is almost impossible. I mostly render to compare compilations of pictures, also using pictures of other artists or even photo’s. (The things that fit are indicated with a green colour, that don’t fit in a red colour and that partly fit in an orange colour.) In this way I hope to give at least some impression of what Charles Tillot did exhibit in 1877. See my account. Here below you will find a more thematical representation of his exhibited works. In the slideshow you will find them in the order of the catalogue numbers.
For info on the sources see at the bottom of the main page about Charles Tillot. Enjoy!

 

Landscapes:
Charles Tillot showed 11 landscapes; 2 marines were made at in Villers-sur-Mer (50km south of Le Havre) (no. 230 +238); 1 work depicted Rouen (no.231); all the other pictures probably were made in Barbizon, the surrounding fields and the Fontainebleau forest (no.228+229 +232-237). Mostly I render compilations, also rendering pictures of other artists, like Caillebotte, Monet, Diaz, Rousseau and J.F. Millet. Sometimes I don’t even have a painting of Tillot to render, see no. 232 +234 +235 +236. See the account.

 

Flower still lifes:
Charles Tillot showed 1 flower still life (no.239). I render a compilation of two paintings of Tillot, which both are uncertain options. See the account.

 

Figure paintings:
Charles Tillot showed 2 figure paintings (no.240 +241). See the account.

Note: hopefully I can render better suggestions in the future.
