Brand New!! Thanksgiving Dindons
Best wishes to all my American Readers who are celebrating Thanksgiving.
This is my photo, taken nearly a decade agone at the Musee d'Orsay, of a 140 twelvemonth erstwhile icon of turkeys. Plus the accompanying label identifying its championship equally "Les Dindons" past times Claude Monet
They produce got a curious story.
The turkeys - the Dindons - were painted past times Monet inward 1877 inward the grounds of the Chateau of Rottenburg at Montgeron (just S of Paris) which was the habitation of Ernest Hoschedé, a wealthy region shop magnate who was besides an fine art collector too Monet's patron.
This icon is unique insofar as:
As it happens the same twelvemonth that this icon was painted, Hoschedé went bankrupt too his wife Alice and their children moved inward amongst the Monets at Vertheuil spell Hoschedé continued to endeavour too piece of employment inward Paris too later moved to Belgium.
Monet's married adult woman Camille had move sick amongst tuberculosis the previous twelvemonth (1876). Then she gave nativity to their second son inward March 1878 - therefore having a minute adult woman or therefore may good produce got been a godsend.
Camille later died (of cancer) on v September 1879 at the historic current of thirty-two - too Alice Hoschedé then helped Monet to heighten his 2 sons, Jean too Michel.
Monet lastly married Alice Hoschedé inward 1892 after the decease of her offset husband.
Alice died inward 1911 too Monet inward 1926.
The icon was exhibited at the Third Impressionist Exhibition 140 years agone inward 1877 - too seems to produce got been sold
It's clear the icon was sold next the bankruptcy too the timeline of ownership is interesting.
After its exhibition inward 1877 it didn't leave of absence much - until 1980 - after which it has been exhibited all over the world!
