Albert Lebourg
Albert Lebourg (1849–1928) was a French landscape painter associated with the Impressionist movement. Born in Montfort-sur-Risle, France, Lebourg initially studied architecture before switching to painting under the influence of Jean-Paul Laurens. He briefly worked as an art professor in Algeria, where the vibrant light and color of the region deeply influenced his style. Upon his return to France, Lebourg became associated with the Impressionists, focusing on natural landscapes, particularly scenes along the Seine River.
Lebourg's works often featured soft, atmospheric effects achieved through loose brushstrokes and a muted color palette. He was known for his sensitive interpretations of water and sky, creating peaceful and contemplative scenes. His paintings were exhibited alongside the works of Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro. Today, his works are held in major collections such as the Musée d'Orsay and various French provincial museums.
