The Seine At Quillebeuf By Norbert Goeneutte Eau Forte (1854-1894)

Norbert Goeneutte was born in Paris on July 23, 1854 and died in Auvers sur Oise on October 9, 1894. In 1891, Dr. Gachet found him suffering from heart disease and advised him to settle in Auvers-sur-Oise. He accepted all the more willingly since since 1861, around Charles Daubigny, a colony of artists had settled there. The family settled in the village, in the house of the engraver Martinez. Goeneutte then made the portrait of Dr Gachet (1891), today at the Musée d'Orsay. Since his first etching in 1871, Norbert Goeneutte continued to engrave, first orientalist scenes, then animated landscapes, finally what made his success of scenes of the life of Parisian women, without forgetting the portraits of his friends, the Dr. Gachet, and Henri Guérard. It is most often in Auguste Delâtre's studio that he got his engravings printed. Bears the workshop stamp "NG", lower right, straddling the engraving and the margin
