Did you know?
Armand Guillaumin was a key member of the Impressionist circle, though he remained somewhat overshadowed by his friends Paul Cézanne and Camille Pissarro. He worked as a government employee for the Department of Roads and Bridges and famously painted in his spare time, only finding financial success after winning a massive prize in the state lottery in 1891, which allowed him to quit his job and paint full-time.
