New enlarged edition
In 1825, Charles Mozin discovered Trouville, where he took his friends, including Isabey, Huet and Bonington, who were already keen to travel to Normandy, and later Corot, Courbet and Whistler. The development of the seaside bathing craze soon transformed the village into a world-famous town, where the greatest artists in theatre, music and literature rubbed shoulders with the wealthiest.
From the 1860s onwards, Boudin, Jongkind and Monet painted beach scenes in Trouville that are now in museums around the world.
A few kilometres from Trouville, Villerville saw an influx of artists following Daubigny's visits. Guillemet, Thiollet, Butin, Dantan and Duez returned again and again, developing the 'Villerville School'.
Deauville, which opened in 1861, attracted the most fashionable and extravagant figures of the Belle Époque and the Roaring Twenties, as well as Foujita and Van Dongen.
Bonnard, Vuillard, Vallotton, Dufy, Marquet and Fernand Léger also left remarkable masterpieces in their wake.
This richly illustrated book presents the main pictorial representations of Normandy from 1821 to 1950, and establishes a link between the main schools of painting, from Romanticism to Fernand Léger.
