François-Alfred Delobbe | Woman sifting, 1882

François Alfred Delobbe's (13 October 1835, Paris - 10 February 1920, Paris) most powerful influences were his deep connection to the French countryside and William Bouguereau, his teacher at the École des Beaux-Arts.
Born in Paris and absorbed in his studies for so many years, the young artist had few opportunities to escape the city.
It was not until Delobbe journeyed to Concarneau, the native home of his friend and fellow artist Alfred Guillou, that he began to explore Brittany's rocky fields and ancient villages.

Rudolf Koller (Swiss painter, 1828-1905)

Rudolf Koller (21 May 1828 - 5 January 1905) was a Swiss painter⏭. He is associated with a realist and classicist style, and also with the essentially romantic Düsseldorf school of painting.
Koller's style is similar to that of the realist painters Gustave Courbet and Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot.
Considered Switzerland's finest animal painter, Koller is rated alongside George Stubbs, Rosa Bonheur and Théodore Géricault. While his reputation was based on his paintings of animals, he was a sensitive and innovative artist whose well-composed works in the "plein air" tradition, including Swiss mountain landscapes, are just as finely executed.
