Impressionism, a historical reconstruction:

Charles-Victor Tillot

(1825-1906)

Exhibited pictures

a topographical and thematical overview

 

Pictures of Charles(-Victor) Tillot scraped together:
What pictures did Charles Tillot show at 6 of the 8 ‘impressionist’ expositions (=IE) the ‘impressionist’ expositions and at the Salon (=S)? On this page you will find a topographical and thematical overview of the titles of the pictures of Charles Tillot exhibited. I also render the limited amount of pictures I could find of Charles Tillot, namely flower still-lifes. When possible I will indicate if this work maybe 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 also the link for an explanation of the subscriptions
I could find just two pictures of Tillot 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.

 

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.

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.

5IE-1880-199, Pivoines dans une corbeille

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.
