"did_you_know": "Fellow artist Edouard Manet considered Jongkind the \"father of modern landscape painting.\"",
"description": "Although born and trained in Holland, Jongkind spent much of his life painting outdoors in France. In this depiction of Bas-Meudon near Paris, the artist applied paint in small patches of bright color to suggest the intensity of outdoor light. Although typcially finished in the studio from open-air sketches, Jongkind's oil paintings achieve a convincing immediacy that greatly impressed the young Claude Monet. The two met in the early 1860s and spent part of a summer painting together along the coast of Normandy. \"From that time he was my real master,\" Monet later acknowledged, \"it was to him that I owe the final education of my eye.\"",
