Impressionism, a historical reconstruction:
Charles-Victor Tillot
(1825-1906)
Pictures
A thematical overview
Pictures of Charles(-Victor) Tillot scraped together:
Here below you will find the pictures I could find about Charles Tillot. I could find just two in books (R3,p264;R89,no9). On the internet I could find some pictures at Google images (iR10), but as the only source it is not very reliable. Many pictures I also found on auction sites: mutualart.com (iR11), artnet.com (iR13) and additionally on bidtoart.com (iR89), askart.com (iR41), blouinart.com (iR12), invaluable (iR17) and Alamy (iR48). Additionally I found pictures as indicated at the additional references at the bottom of the main page on Charles Tillot.
I will render all the titles of works of Tillot that were exhibited and were auctioned or other wise mentioned in a thematical way. In the same way I will add the pictures that I have found. When possible I will indicate if this work has been exhibited by Charles Tillot at the Salon (=S) or at the ‘impressionist’ expositions (=IE). But this is very hard to do, see also my account. See link for an explanation of the subscriptions.
Landscapes:
Charles Tillot made many landscapes. Most of them are now lost.
Villiers-sur-Mer and surroundings:
Charles Tillot made many works in Villers-sur-Mer, about 230km west of Paris, along the coast of the Canal (iR9). Caillebotte also painted here in the 1880s. Auberville lies just west of Villers-sur-Mer.

In 1860 he moved to Barbizon, about 60km south-east of Paris, bought the house ‘La Taupinière’, and lived across his neighbour Jean-François Millet (iR4;R9;iR3;iR1;R92,p16), who would become his friend.

Savoie + Annecy:
Annecy lies around 560km south-east of Paris and 42km south of Geneva. South of Annecy lies the lake of Annecy. Sévrier lies at the west side of the Annecy lake, just south of Annecy. Savoie is a French department, strangely south of Annecy and (nowadays) not including Annecy.

Still-lifes:
The most pictures of Charles Tillot I could find were flower still-lifes. But as we have seen he is equally of figure painter and a landscapist.
Flower still-lifes:
Charles Tillot made many flower still-lifes. So I will render them by sort of flower. I will render the names in French, English and Dutch.
Pivoines = peonies = pioenrozen:
4IE-1879-234, Pivoines et Iris
8IE-1886-205, Pivoines et Iris
5IE-1880-200, Pivoines et Iris dans un vase de Delft
4IE-1879-235, Pivoines, coquelicots, etc.

8IE-1886-206, Pivoines blanches
8IE-1886-212, Pivoines et Pavots
1886, Bouquet de Pivoines et Pavots (aR6)
Roses = roses = rozen:
8IE-1886-209, Roses
8IE-1886-211, Roses dans un vase de Chine
coquelicots = cornpoppies = klaprozen:
4IE-1879-235, Pivoines, coquelicots, etc.
4IE-1879-236, Pavots et coquelicots
Pavots = poppies = papavers:
4IE-1879-236, Pavots et coquelicots
8IE-1886-212, Pivoines et Pavots
1886, Bouquet de Pivoines et Pavots (aR6)
Iris = irises = irissen:
4IE-1879-234, Pivoines et Iris
8IE-1886-205, Pivoines et Iris
5IE-1880-200, Pivoines et Iris dans un vase de Delft
Giroflées = wallflower = muurbloem:
5IE-1880-201, Giroflées
6IE-1881-141, Giroflées
6IE-1881-142, Giroflées
Chrysanthèmes = Chrysanthemums = Chrysanten:
5IE-1880-202, Chrysanthèmes
8IE-1886-207, Chrysanthèmes
5IE-1880-203, Soucis et chrysanthèmes
8IE-1886-208, Chrysanthèmes blanches et dahlias
Soucis = marigold= goudsbloem:
5IE-1880-203, Soucis et chrysanthèmes
Note: the work below also seems to depict some marigolds.
Dahlias = Dahlias = Dahlia’s:
8IE-1886-208, Chrysanthèmes blanches et dahlias
Anémones = Anemones = Anemonen:
8IE-1886-210-1, Anémones (2 études)
8IE-1886-210-2, Anémones (2 études)
Flowers in a vase:
4IE-1879-237, Fleurs dans un vase Persan
8IE-1886-211, Roses dans un vase de Chine
Other flower still-lifes:
3IE-1877-239, Fleurs
EU-C-1900-633, Fleurs (à M. Henri Rouart)
Note: one source (aR14=iR258) suggests that ‘1877ca, Floral still life in blue vase, 81×67, A2008/11/20’ was exhibited as 3IE-1877-239 (and as EU-C-1900-633). But this work was not reviewed, so it is not possible to render a solid suggestion. And since this work clearly depicts chrysantheums it is more likely that it was exhibited with a similar title.
4IE-1879-233, Fleurs de printemps
6IE-1881-140, Fleurs de printemps
4IE-1879-238-1, Printemps (et Automne)
4IE-1879-238-2, (Printemps et) Automne
(deux tableaux de fleurs sous le même numéro)
Other still-lifes:
Note: on the internet I found a still-life attributed to Charles Tillot, but not signed. I found the attribution to less substantiated, so I won’t render it. As far as I know he didn’t exhibited other still-lifes then flower still-lifes.
Studies:
Charles Tillot exhibited many studies at the ‘impressionist’ expositions. There are no indications if they were landscapes, figure paintings or still-lifes.
