The Seine at Bas-Meudon (Primary Title)
Johan Barthold Jongkind, Dutch (active in France), 1819 - 1891 (Artist)
Jongkind, who studied at the Academy of Drawing in The Hague, shows a clear grounding in the Dutch landscape tradition tempered by the influence of open-air painters such as Eugene Boudin. Boudin, in turn, influenced Claude Monet and other Impressionists. Bas-Meudon is located in the southwest suburbs of Paris.
