Artist Biography
Edme Émile Laborne (1837 - 1913) lived in France.
Student at the Jules Marinist Christmas, Edme Emile Laborne was a refined painter of cityscapes and landscapes. Paris, the Loire Valley, southern Spain were often treated her brushes. From the early to mid 1860s, Laborne ran multiple views of the Normandy coast: Tréport, Fecamp, Honfleur and Cabourg particular. Laborne performed a coastal landscape where the strong presence of the mineral element stylistically recalls the works of Octave Penguilly L'Haridon (1811-1870), and more particularly a painting attributed to Penguilly taking up this theme of the Black Cows with framing close enough, and recently spent for public sale.This artist is also known by the alias Edmé-Émile Laborne, and he was a refined painter of cityscapes and landscapes. Laborne was an established artist, and he associated with other contemporary, well-known Impressionist painters such as Monet and Pissarro. He also exhibited consistently at the Salon of French Artists from 1865 to 1913 and his work was very well received commercially. During Laborne’s time, the Impressionist painters such as Monet were challenging the traditional ideas held by the Academy. The Impressionists believed there was honour in painting everyday scenes and quiet landscapes, whereas their predecessors had seen this genre of painting as a lesser art to, for example, History Painting.Whilst Laborne’s paintings are undoubtedly Impressionist in style and technique, his work is set apart from others by its exceptionally descriptive effect. This is apparent in the example of French Harbour, which captures a sense of airiness and light, whilst also demonstrating smaller brushstrokes and discreet attention to detail. Laborne was a lifelong student of the Marianist Society (The Society of Mary), one of the only Roman-Catholic Societies that survived the anti-clerical persecution during the French Revolution in the late Eighteenth Century.Examples of his work can be found in the Louvre and the Musée D’Orsay in Paris.
