Paul Durand-Ruel
The other day in Paris, what an enchanting encounter with , direct descendant of Paul Durand-Ruel.
Flavie is in charge of managing the exceptional archives of Paul, who from 1865 until 1922 became the most celebrated gallery promoting l’Ecole de Barbizon followed by the Impressionist mouvement.
He sold in excess of 20.000 paintings during his lifetime in his galleries in Paris, London,Brussels and New York.
Just to mention a few, Monet,Sisley,Renoir,Manet,Cassat, Degas counted among his portfolio of artist he supported during many years.
The huge archives are intact, delivering amazing historical insight in the art market of Impressionism.
What a legacy, amazing.
Thanks Flavie for letting me in 🙏
