Artists in conversation
Charles Meryon
French · b. 1821
Meryon was a master of 19th century French etching who shared Daubigny's dedication to capturing atmospheric outdoor scenes with precise monochrome line work. His etchings similarly document specific environments with a serene yet observational quality rooted in Romantic naturalism.
Johan Barthold Jongkind
Dutch · b. 1819
Jongkind created intimate etchings and prints of river and waterway scenes in France during the same period, sharing Daubigny's focus on calm water, boats, and naturalistic landscape observation rendered in monochrome printmaking techniques.
Francis Seymour Haden
British · b. 1818
Haden was a celebrated 19th century etcher deeply inspired by the Barbizon tradition who produced serene riverside and waterway compositions using expressive etching techniques very close in spirit and medium to Daubigny's floating studio works.
