GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Famous as both etcher and painter, Jongkind contributed importantly to the birth and development of impressionism and in many ways is considered a forerunner of the impressionist movement. His paintings of the Dutch and French landscape, marked by freshness of color and dashing, divisionist brushwork, were greatly admired in France and found reinterpretation in his etchings, with their sparse, sketchy linear patterns and strong effects of light. Probably better than any other artist of his generation, Jongkind was able to transfer the principles of impressionism into printmaking.

NOTES
Entered "Vue de la Ville de Maaslind" as foreign language title.
General Description: Steve Nash, DMA Acquisition proposal (1982.32.FA), May 1982.
Entered Gail Davitt's biography for Jongkind as a text entry.
Entered acquisition justificaiton as a text entry.
Indianapolis Museum and the Library of Congress have prints of this work and name Auguste Delâtre as the printer. In the DMA records, he appears as the printer for Jongkind's The Towpath (1990.128) but not for this object. Should he be added to this TMS record?
The Library of Congress, Boston MFA, and Philadelphia Museum of Art show their copies of this object as having been published by Cadart & Chevalier (or Cadart & Luquet), rue Richelieu.
I could not find any information on the city of Maaslins, Holland. When "Maaslins" is searched on the internet, Jongkind's prints are the predominant return. Is this possibly the French translation of the city of Maasland? Should this be reflected in the TMS record and online?
Removed TMS tag because rule exists.
This note was previously tagged #routed (and possibly !Routed_Feb15). I am removing those tags and replacing with #draft so that this note proceeds to GDocs for routing and is harvested to Brain. (EAS, 12/19/2016)
