Artist Biography
Louis Hilaire Carrand (1821-1899) was a French painter. He is considered a direct precursor to the Impressionists. Together with François Vernay and Auguste Ravier, he formed a small group of Lyon painters close to the Barbizon School. Like the Impressionists, he shared their interest in expressive, painterly brushwork. However, unlike the Impressionists who favoured bright and luminous atmospheres, Carrand was drawn to misty atmospheres, the grey and silvery tones associated with spring or autumn, and the effects of light at dawn and dusk.
