Eugène Bejot

Eugène Bejot was an artist whose active period spanned over three decades, documented from 1897 to 1929. His artistic output primarily consisted of prints, specializing in detailed views of architecture and urban Parisian life across the turn of the 20th century.

Eight examples of Eugène Bejot prints are represented in institutional holdings, demonstrating a consistent dedication to capturing major landmarks and street scenes. Notable documented works include the Montmartre view Montmartre, le Moulin de la Gallette, and Fan, The Seine seen from the Pont Royal (Éventail, La Seine vue du Pont Royal). Bejot also focused on significant public spaces, creating works such as Les Tuileries and The Basin of the Tuileries, alongside architectural studies like Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis.

The enduring value and historical significance of Bejot’s production is confirmed by the placement of his work in prominent museum collections, including the Rijksmuseum and the Cleveland Museum of Art. Because much of his early 20th-century output now resides in the public domain, scholars and enthusiasts frequently seek out high-quality prints derived from his original etchings for study and display.
