Description
Louis FRANÇAIS (1811–1897), a French landscape painter associated with the Barbizon School. Signed autograph letter, addressed to the French painter Émile Noirot (1853–1924). Plombières, Sunday, undated. One and a half pages, in-12 format.
The painter acknowledges receipt of a letter containing a photograph, and writes: ‘I find your subject very elegant and have no doubt that it will be well received by the jury’. Having come to Plombières to rest, it was there, he writes, that he learnt of his appointment [to the Institut? Or the Académie des Beaux-Arts? Louis Français was admitted to both institutions in 1890]. He assures his correspondent that he will support him, and tells him that he will give his opinion on his painting once he has seen the canvas. And he concludes as follows: “Until then, keep up the good work, Mr Noirot; painting is a consolation for everything!”
