Excerpt from Notes sur l'Art Moderne (Peinture): Corot, Ingres, Millet, Eug. Delacroix, Raffet, Meissonier, Puvis de Chavannes; ??? Travers les Salons Il est inutile de revenir, apr???s tant d'autres, sur sa biographie, d'ailleurs sans aventure; il suffira d'en retenir deux faits la date de sa naissance, 4796 et l'imp???rieuse-vocation qui, en d???pit de la r???sistance de parents respect???s et ob???is, fit d'un commis en draperie un des ma???tres de la peinture. Quand, a force de doux ent???tement, il obtint la permission de quitter le comptoir pour l'atelier, il avait pass??? le temps de l'apprentissage; il avait vingt - six ans; on ???tait en 1822. A cette date, l'???cole moderne de paysage n'exis tait pas encore, mais le genre du paysage ses lois et ses vari???t???s, avaient_???t???, depuis la fin du si???cle pr???c???dent, chez les esth???ticiens, les amateurs et les artistes, l'objet de discussions et de recher ches dont il n'est pas indiff???rent d'essayer de mar quer nettement le moment et les tendances, d'ailleurs contradictoires. Il peut para???tre ???trange que la d???couverte de la nature, c???l???br???e comme une des grandes con qu???tes litt???raires et sentimentales du xviiie si???cle, ait ???t??? si lente ??? faire sentir ses effets sur la peinture. Jean - Jacques Rousseau, depuis long temps, avait ouvert les yeux de ses contemporains sur l'or des gen???ts et la pourpre des bruy???r'es.
