Biography:
A French Impressionist painter who was trained as an engineer but also studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and painted in his free time. He became a friend and patron of Monet and Renoir in 1874 and helped organize the Impressionists' later exhibitions, in which he also showed his own work. His paintings were placid Impressionist treatments of landscape scenes which displayed little of the virtuosity of Monet and Renoir.
