Charles-François Daubigny (1817—1878), French landscape painter, allied in several ways with the Barbizon School, was born in Paris, on the 15th of February 1817, but spent much time as a child at Valmondois, a village on the Oise to the northwest of Paris. Daubigny was the son of an artist, and most of his family were painters. He began to paint very early in life, and at the age of seventeen he took a studio of his own. Within twelve months he had saved enough to go to Italy, where he studied and painted for nearly two years; he then returned to Paris, not to leave it again until, in 1860, Charles François Daubigny took a house at Auvers on the Oise. By 1837 he had become famous as a river and landscape painter, although he had been devoting himself as well to drawing in black-and-white, to etching, wood engraving, and lithography. In 1855 Daubigny painting, Lock at Optevoz, now in the Louvre, was purchased by the state; four years later Daubigny was created knight of the Legion of Honour, and in 1874 he was promoted to bean officer. In 1866, at the invitation of Lord, then Mr, Leighton and others, he visited London, where, however, he was hurt by his now famous Moonlight being badly hung in the Old Royal Academy.

But the personal encouragement of his admirers in England made up for the disappointment, and the sale of Charles-François Daubigny painting to a Royal Academician greatly pleased him. In. 1870—1871 he again visited London, and subsequently Holland, where he painted a number of river scenes with windmills. In 1874, having returned to Paris, Daubigny fell ill, and from that time until he died (on the 19th of February 1878) Charles-François Daubigny painting won less distinction than before. In 1904 the municipality of Auvers-sur-Oise decided to erect a bronze monument to his memory.

The finest Charles-François Daubigny paintings were painted between 1864 and 1874, and these for the most part consist of carefully completed landscapes with trees, river and a few ducks. It has curiously been said, yet with some appearance of truth, that when Daubigny liked his paintings himself added another duck or two, so that the number of ducks often indicates greater or less artistic quality in his pictures. One of his sayings was, “The best pictures do not sell,” as he frequently found his finest achievements little understood. Yet although during the latter part of his life he was considered a highly successful painter, the money value of Charles-François Daubigny paintings since his death has increased nearly tenfold. Daubigny is chiefly preferred in his riverside pictures, of which he painted a great number, but although there are two large landscapes by Charles-François Daubigny in the Louvre, neither is a river view. They are for that reason not so typical as many of his smaller Oise and Seine pictures.

In the Daubigny paintings, like Corot’s, to be found in many modern collections. His most ambitious canvases are: Springtime (1857), in the Louvre; Borde dela Cure, Morvan (1864); Villerville sur Mer (1864); Moonlight (1865); Andrésy sur Oise (1868); and Return of the Flock — Moonlight (1878).

His followers and pupils were his son Karl (who sometimes painted so well that his works are occasionally mistaken for those of his father, though in few cases do they equal his father’s mastery), Oudinot, Delpy and Damoye.
