Constant TROYON (1810-1865)

After ten years of relative neglect, the Barbizon School could now gradually move back into the limelight

The break-up of the Pierre Miquel collection, between 29 March and 2 April 2004 at Rossini (Drouot Richelieu, Paris), involved nearly a thousand works, mainly French nineteenth century landscapes. It was a huge success, with a total of EUR 2.7 million changing hands in the five auction sessions.
