"Inspired by the Normandy countryside in which he grew up, Albert Lebourg became a lifelong painter of landscape, particularly of the waterways of France such as the Seine and the Marne. Although influenced by the Impressionists and friendly with Monet, Degas and Sisley, he forged his own individual style in which a shimmering surface of fluid brushwork is underpinned by a strong, perfectly balanced composition based around complementary colours."

Just out of curiosity, why did you have to memorize this photo on a slide about 2 years ago?

It's your turn, T.Wayne, to post a MM of your choice.

Give us your best shot.

It was part of a test on french impressionism... we had 300 slide to memorize and only 50 on the test. We had to put the title, artist and year.
