The life of Edmond Yarz  

Edmond Yarz (1845 - 1920), was a 19th-century painter relatively unknown to the general public. He was born in Toulouse, into a relatively well-off family.

He learned painting and drawing techniques at the Beaux-Arts school in Toulouse. It was there that he decided to produce landscape drawings and paintings.

He moved to Paris, where the art world was more prolific for him than in Toulouse, and settled in a studio on rue Montmartre with painter Benjamin-Constant.

He exhibited canvases almost every year at the Salon, his work notably noticed by Appolinaire, who described one of his paintings as " trompe l'oeil impressionism ".

He drew inspiration for his work not only from the landscapes of Ile de France, like the Barbizon painters, but also from his hometown.

Edmond Yarz's imprint on his era

Edmond Yarz did not leave much of an imprint on his era. He was noticed by a few critics when he exhibited. Today, his work is less famous, but he is still highly regarded on the art market.

His quotation is currently stable on the auction market.
