Woman with a Wheelbarrow
Signed lower left: Julien Dupré
Julien Dupré was described in an article in the Magazine of Art (1891) as: "...one of the most rising artists of the French School". Although he was student of Isadore Pils and Henri Lehmann at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Dupré’s great master was the rural genre painter Désiré François Laugée, whose daughter he would marry in 1876. Dupré exhibited works at every Salon exhibition from 1876 until his death in 1910 and earned critical acclaim for his depictions of peasant life. He was awarded medals at several Salon Exhibitions and received a Gold Medal at the Exposition Universelle in 1889 for his pictorial representations of the life of the farm worker.
Dupré was very successful during his lifetime both in Europe and the United States. Wealthy American patrons traveled to Paris to acquire his works and they became part of the great collections of the 19th century. Many of these collections, in turn, would become the cornerstones of our great museums.
