Dutilleux meticulously recorded their trip in his diary and his entry for September 1st describes them sketching together on the beach at Scheveningen. Three of the sketches Corot made that day are recorded in Robaut (nos. 734, 735, and 736). Journeys such as this were crucially important in shaping the art of Corot’s maturity. Increasingly during the 1860s and 1870s, he would revisit through his imagination places which had left an impression on him, synthesizing his memories into paintings like Souvenir des Dunes de Scheveningue, which he often titled souvenirs. While most of his souvenirs were of Italy; this particular piece was inspired by his trip in 1854 to Holland. Painted c.1872 The authenticity of this work has been confirmed by Martin Dieterle and Claire Lebeau. |
