The art of Stanislas Lepine joins the pre-Impressionists with the Impressionists. He
established his reputation with views of Paris and paintings depicting life on the banks of the Seine imbued with an atmosphere unique to his oeuvre. Although he gained little recognition during his lifetime, he was highly regarded by his fellow artists and, in 1874, was invited to exhibit in the first Impressionist Exhibition.

Exhibited: London, Marlborough Fine Art, French Landscapes, 1961, no 25; London, Marlborough Fine Art, A Great Period of French Painting, 1963, no 16.
