It was by chance that Joseph-Félix Bouchor (1853-1937) discovered the Rouen region and its green landscapes in Normandy in 1880; at that time he was still only a young painter little known and in search of success. After a bohemian and adventurous life, he moved to Freneuse in 1886 to study rural life and Norman landscapes.
Conference hosted by Lionel Dumarche, former research fellow at the Regional Conservation of Historical Monuments - DRAC Haute-Normandie, author of the book Bouchor, the painter of Freneuse at the editions du Point de vues, 2013.

About the location

Musée Blanche Hoschedé-Monet

12 rue du pont, 27200 Vernon

Eure

The Vernon Municipal Museum was founded in 1862 thanks to the donation of François de Brécourt’s collection of some 2,000 specimens of naturalized birds from Normandy and distant lands. Located in the town hall, the museum was named Alphonse-Georges-Poulain in 1966, after the archaeologist and curator who had taken care of the museum and its collections since 1922\. It moved in 1983 to this former mansion of the Lemoine family of Belle-Isle in the heart of the historic center of Vernon. Honouring the impressionist creation on the Seine at the gates of Eure and Normandy, from Claude Monet to Pierre Bonnard, the museum was renamed the Hoschedé-Monet White Museum in 2024\. You will discover an important collection of landscapes of the Val de Seine and the great natural sites of Normandy, signed by the artists of the famous Hoschedé-Monet-Butler family and American and foreign artists of the colony of Giverny. The museum is also distinguished by its unique collection of animal art, benefit
