Inspired by the work of Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (1796-1875) and Johan Barthold Jongkind (1819-1891), Cals worked in a manner more closely aligned with the Impressionists. As a \u003ci\u003eplein-air\u003c\/i\u003e painter, he is known for depicting slighty melancholic landscapes. He exhibited almost constantly at the Salon between 1835 and 1870. By 1846 Cals was critically acclaimed. Following a meeting with the art dealer ‘le Pére Martin’ (Pierre-Firmin Martin 1817-1891), the artist joined the Impressionist expositions to considerable success. By utilising short, regular and transparent strokes Cals’ work articulates the movement of air, or atmosphere, and thus expresses a great sense of place. Settling in Honfleur in 1873, Cals would frequent the ‘Saint-Simeon Farm’, an inn made famous as the meeting place for artists and writers, such as Claude Monet (1840-1926), Eugène Boudin (1824-1898), Jongkind and Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Patrick Boyd-Carpenter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42025262186689,"sku":"","price":999.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/0291\/6033\/products\/f5552e69-cc41-4a69-8f1d-aefd0098a1dc.jpg?v=1664307903","url":"https:\/\/www.pbcfineart.co.uk\/products\/adolphe-felix-cals-pastel-cliffs-at-dieppe","provider":"Patrick Boyd-Carpenter","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
