Editing Charles-François Daubigny (section)

==Biography==
Daubigny was born in Paris, into a family of painters; taught art by his father, {{ill|Edmé-François Daubigny|fr}}, and his uncle, [[Portrait miniature|miniaturist]] Pierre Daubigny (1793-1858). He was also a pupil of Jean-Victor Bertin, Jacques Raymond Brascassat and [[Paul Delaroche]], from whom he would quickly emancipate himself. Though best known for his painted landscapes, Daubigny survived for many years as a graphic artist, illustrating books, magazines and travel guides for publication.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Newhouse |first=Jill |date=January 2015 |title=Charles F.

In 1838, he set up, at the Rue des Amandiers-Popincourt, a community of artists, a phalanstery, with Adolphe-Victor Geoffroy-Dechaume, Hippolyte Lavoignat, [[Ernest Meissonnier]], Auguste Steinheil, Louis Joseph Trimolet, with whom he already had expressed his interest in subjects drawn directly from daily life and nature. These artists will work, among others, for the publisher Léon Curmer, who was specialized in books illustrated with vignettes. From this period date the first confirmed engravings by Daubigny. 

Initially Daubigny painted in a more traditional style, but this changed after 1843 when he settled in [[Barbizon]] to work outside in nature. Even more important was his meeting with [[Camille Corot]] in 1852 in Optevoz (Isère). On his famous boat ''Botin'', which he had turned into a studio, he painted along the [[Seine]] and [[Oise]], often in the region around [[Auvers-sur-Oise|Auvers]]. From 1852 onward, he was influenced by [[Gustave Courbet]]. The two artists were from the same generation and were driven by the realist movement: during a joint stay, each composed a series of views of Optevoz.

In 1848, Daubigny worked on behalf of the Chalcographie du Louvre, performing facsimiles, which testifies to his great expertise in this art, and revisiting the technique of aquatint in a less cumbersome process. His famous series of ''Rolling Carts'' dates from this period. In 1862, with Corot, he experimented with the cliché-verre technique, halfway between photography and printmaking.

In 1866, he joined the jury of the Paris Salon for the first time, alongside his friend Corot. The same year, Daubigny visited England, eventually returning because of the [[Franco-Prussian war]], in 1870. In [[London]] he met [[Claude Monet]], and they left for the Netherlands together. Back in Auvers, he met [[Paul Cézanne]], another important Impressionist. It is assumed that these younger [[impressionism|impressionist]] painters were influenced by Daubigny.

Daubigny died in [[Paris]] in 1878. His remains are interred at [[cimetière du Père-Lachaise]] (division 24). 

His followers and pupils included his son {{ill|Karl Daubigny|fr|lt=Karl}} (whose works are occasionally mistaken for those of his father), {{ill|Achille Oudinot|fr}}, [[Hippolyte Camille Delpy]], [[Albert Charpin]] and [[Pierre Emmanuel Damoye]]. The two painters who introduced the [[Barbizon School]] in [[Portugal]], in 1879, [[António Carvalho da Silva Porto|António da Silva Porto]] and [[João Marques de Oliveira]], were also his disciples.<ref>José-Augusto França, ''A Arte em Portugal no Século XIX'', Lisbon, Bertrand Editora, 3rd edition, 1990, volume 2 (Portuguese)</ref>
