Did you know?
Armand Guillaumin was a key figure in the Impressionist movement and famously won a 100,000-franc prize in the state lottery in 1891. This windfall allowed him to quit his job as a government employee and dedicate the rest of his life to painting, an opportunity few Impressionists could afford. His studies of animals and landscapes often reveal a deeply observant eye focused on the simple, rural beauty of the French countryside.
