Charles-François Daubigny belongs to the record of art as a figure whose work outlasted the taste that first received it.
The record lists Charles-François Daubigny as French painter (1817–1878).
Charles-François Daubigny was born at Paris in 1817. His recorded nationality is France.
The nineteenth century broke the academy's authority: independent exhibitions, dealers and the beginnings of modernism.
He worked as painter, printmaker and landscape painter.
His recorded movement is barbizon school.
His best-known work is Landscape. Art history is a record of what got kept, which is not the same as what was best.
Recognition followed: Knight of the Legion of Honour and Officer of the Legion of Honour.
That the work was made in France shaped it: artistic traditions, academies and the galleries that decide what is seen have never been evenly distributed.
Charles-François Daubigny died in 1878, aged 61. The work remains, hanging in collections that outlived both the artist and the market that first priced it.
