The Castle-Museum of Dieppe presents until February 28^th, 2010 a major exhibition that has brought together for the first time renowned painters who traveled throughout the Dieppe region from the eighteenth to the twentieth century.

This major exhibition shows works of art which depict the city and its surroundings with well known artists: Corot, Isabey, Garneray, Renoir, Boudin, Pissarro, Monet, Braque and many others.

Paintings, watercolors and ink drawings have been brought together to show the town of  Dieppe in all its different lights through a selection of paintings. These aim at showing the changing styles and looks over the city from the eighteenth to the twentieth century: the activity of the fishing harbour, the view from up the cliffs or the typical fishermen’s area. The surroundings such as Arques-la-Bataille as well as the villages of Pourville and Varengeville will also be shown.

Renowned Western artists will be represented: from Joseph Vernet to the Impressionists such as Claude Monet, who used to go to Pourville beach, without forgetting the Symbolists like René Ménard, who spent much time in Varengeville and Georges Braque who set up his studio.

British painters who came to Dieppe, first seaside resort in France, will be represented, including Clarkson Stanfield, Walter Sickert and other more recent artists such Nicholas Horsfield and David Morris.

However, along with internationally renowned artists, the exhibition is also the opportunity to discover less known painters but who left worthwhile works of art: Elodie La Villette, Francis Auburtin, Théodore Broutel and Victor Gilbert.
