Hippolyte Camille Delpyartist • painterJoigny (Yonne) 1842-1910 Parijs

Ippolyte Camille Delpy was a French landscape painter who was trained by the two great masters of the Barbizon School: Camille Corot and Charles Daubigny. He remained close friends with Daubigny. From 1873 until his death he also exhibited almost annually at the Salon of the Société d'Art Français. Among the many exhibitions, the most notable were the presentations in the Galerie d'art moderne in Paris in 1890, in the Galerie Danthon in Paris in 1908 and the participation in 1900 in the famous exhibition in the Glaspallast in Munich. He is one of the most important pre-impressionists of the Barbizon School, whose landscapes were preferably painted on the rivers Yonne and Seine. His work in general remains closely related to that of Charles Daubigny, although it is lighter and sunnier in atmosphere. His oeuvre is represented in many museums, including the Museums of Paris, Beziers, Lyon, Nantes, London and New York.
