Norbert Goeneutte (23 July 1854 – 9 October 1894) was a French painter, etcher and illustrator; notably for the novel La Terre by Émile Zola. Goenneutte entered the École des Beaux-arts and studied with Isidore Pils. He frequented the Père Lathuille, a famous cabaret, where he met Manet and was introduced to the artistic circle at the Café de la Nouvelle Athènes. He soon began exhibiting at the Salon but, despite his friendship with many notable Impressionists, never participated in one of their group exhibitions. In 1889, he became one of the founders of the "Société des peintres-graveurs français [fr]", together with his friends Henri Guérard and Félix Bracquemond. That same year, he exhibited at the Exposition Universelle. See less
