Paul Désiré Trouillebert (1829-1900) , together with Lepine, was the most prominent follower of Camille Corot. Trouillebert was born in Paris and studied under Jalabert. Trouillebert was best known for his nudes and landscapes.
As a landscape painter, Trouillebert owed a lot to Corot, both in terms of subject matter, riverbanks and forests and in terms of the silvery light that was often present in his work. A painting from the collection of Alexander Dumas' son was wrongly considered an important work by Corot; such was the likeness of their work. However, Trouillebert was not just any Corot copyist, of which there were many; his range was considerable, from the silvery-hued landscape with perhaps a solitary figure to a broadly painted scene with vivid, bold colours, of which this work is a wonderful example.
Geographically, its reach was extensive, including views of the Seine, the Loire, Brittany, the Charantes and La Rochelle. Trouillebert was a popular, prolific and highly regarded artist during his lifetime. An indication of his reputation is that Edgar Degas, painter and a prominent collector, was the owner of "Bords de la Seine".
