The facial expression in this portrait of Jules Dubois give an impression of the earnestness,
intelligence, and curiosity that was the hallmark of this era in France. Science, art, medicine,
and literature were all fields where the French led the world when this was painted.
Schönes Porträt eines französischen Gentleman.
ReplyDeleteLeider wurden einige von Herr Caillebottes Kunstwerken während der Nazizeit im wahnsinningen Krieg gegen die sogenannte entartete Kunst zerstört. Die Impressionisten blieben nicht verschont. :(

I can't imagine what the Nazis could have found offensive about Mr. Caillebotte's work, but they were murderus criminals, so perhaps they didn't need a reason.
