Johan Barthold Jongkind

Although Johan Barthold Jongkind can be seen as a trailblazer of impressionism, he is also associated with other 19th-century artistic movements. With the major international exhibitions and the publication of this book, it is now time for a re-evaluation of Jongkind's work. The book utilises a systematic approach to address the life and work of this artist with various sections being devoted to such topics as his years in the Netherlands, his Paris period, his time spent on the Normandy coast, and his relationship with Monet. Attention is also devoted to Jongkind's watercolours and etchings. A wide audience can now become reacquainted with the originality and vision of Johan Barthold Jongkind.
