Felix Bracquemond

Felix Bracquemond was an artist active primarily between 1852 and 1869, whose documented output consists mainly of prints and works on paper. His professional career focused heavily on printmaking, a medium through which he pursued both architectural studies and detailed portraiture.

A total of fifteen works attributed to Bracquemond, comprising fourteen prints and one drawing, are represented in institutional holdings. These works establish his presence in significant North American collections, including the Art Institute of Chicago.

Notable examples of Felix Bracquemond prints preserved in these collections include multiple iterations of the study The Upper Part of a Door, the character study Portrait of Fantin-Latour, and two distinct versions of the Portrait of Meryon. As an artist whose career predates the twentieth century, much of his original graphical output is now available in the public domain. This accessibility allows institutions and researchers to utilize his work for study, often sourcing downloadable artwork to create high-quality prints for exhibition and educational purposes.
