Charles-François Daubigny (Feb 15, 1817 - Feb 19, 1878) was one of the painters of the Barbizon school, and is considered an important precursor of Impressionism.
Daubigny was born in Paris, into a family of painters and was taught the art by his father Edmond François Daubigny and his uncle, miniaturist Pierre Daubigny.
Initially Daubigny painted in a traditional style, but this changed after 1843 when he settled in Barbizon to work outside in nature. Even more important was his meeting with Camille Corot in 1852 in Optevoz (Isère). On his famous boat Botin, which he had turned into a studio, he painted along the Seine and Oise, often in the region around Auvers. From 1852 onward he came under the influence of Gustave Courbet.
Coming from a family of painters, Charles-François Daubigny was initially introduced to this art by his father, Edmé-François Daubigny and his uncle, the miniaturist Pierre Daubigny. He is also a pupil of Jean-Victor Bertin and Jacques Raymond Brascassat.
His installation in Barbizon in 1843 where he works in the heart of nature changes his way of painting. His meeting with Camille Corot in 1852 was decisive: on his boat (called the "Botin"), which he had set up as a painting studio, he painted along the course of the Seine and the Oise, in particular In the region of Auvers-sur-Oise. Beginning in 1852, the influence of Gustave Courbet directed his art towards a realistic direction.
In 1866 Daubigny visited England, eventually returning because of the Franco-Prussian war in 1870. In London he met Claude Monet, and together they left for the Netherlands. Back in Auvers, he met Paul Cézanne, another important Impressionist. It is assumed that these younger painters were influenced by Daubigny.
The most outstanding paintings of Charles-François Daubigny are those produced between 1864 and 1874, most of which are for forest landscapes and lakes. Disappointed to see his most accomplished paintings fail to meet the success and understanding of his contemporaries, he is nevertheless, at the end of his career, an extremely sought-after and appreciated artist.
He is the father of Karl Daubigny (born in Paris in 1846 and died in Auvers-sur-Oise in 1886).
Daubigny was buried in Paris at the Père-Lachaise cemetery (Division 24).
