"David Girin (lyon, 1848 - Id., 1917) - Twilight On The Pond "
David-Eugène Girin entered the École des Beaux-Arts in Lyon in 1864 and immediately joined Joseph Guichard's class. He exhibited genre scenes at the Salon and also painted still lifes, particularly flowers. It was in 1887 with the painting Le Matin that a definitive change appeared, the artist known for his genre paintings now devoted himself exclusively to landscapes and outdoor scenes. His financial strength allows him to travel throughout France and offers him a diversity of subjects to deal with. David Girin also renews his palette and his style. It combines a powerful and sober design with a palette composed of shades of light earth and colored whites.
