Note du spécialiste

The landscapist Français entered the studio of Jean-François Gigoux (1806-1894) in 1834, and received advice from Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (1796-1875) before exhibiting at the Salon starting in 1837. He painted the surroundings of Paris and travelled mainly in Italy. From the early 1870s, he divided his time between Plombières, his native town in the Vosges, and the region of Nice in Southern France (G. Schurr and P. Cabanne, Dictionnaire des petits maîtres de la peinture, 1820-1920, Paris, 1996, I, p. 444). The present work was made in 1872 in Cannes, south of Nice.
