The life of Albert Lebourg was under the influence of changes with historical significance. In Europe, industrialisation progressed and the first world exhibitions were celebrated. In France, the good economic development continued and French life became easier. French painters were anxious to get permission to exhibit in the Paris Salon, and society flocked to the halls to admire the works. In the frenzy of the great interest in art a new trend in art developed. The avant-garde works met with great criticism at the beginning, and yet one of the most important art movements grew out of them.
The painters were drawn out into nature. They wanted to capture the light and free themselves from the rigid figures in painting. In Normandy, the Impressionists found a perfect landscape. The valley of the Seine and the special light inspired the virtuosi of the time. Albert Lebourg was born in Rouen, in the heart of the region preferred by light. When the early phase of Impressionism began in France, Lebourg stayed in Algiers. The studied artist gave drawing lessons at a school. Far from the impulses of the French artistic circles, Lebourg developed a very personal palette of bright colours. After his stay in France, the artist traveled through Europe and, on his return, made his debut in an exhibition of the Impressionists, which included Monet and Renoir.
Lebourg sought out Paris and Rouen as his centers of life. Here the painter found his motives. Again and again Lebourg captures moments on the Seine. He devotes himself to the subject of fleeting moments and the play between light and clouds. The brush stroke is loose and creates lightness. His hometown Rouen fascinates the artist again and again. The painter reinterprets the life at the harbour and the view from his balcony again and again. The cathedral of the city of Rouen is a popular motif of the impressionists. Claude Monet created probably the most famous representation. Rouen attracted the impressionist art scene. The flair and possibilities in the play with light created an art school. The school of Rouen was dedicated to landscape painting and Lebourg is one of the most important representatives and initiators. A stroke ended the active creative phase of Albert Lebourg. The body was partially paralyzed and the artist was severely restricted in his movements. Albert Lebourg has influenced and shaped Impressionist painting, yet the name Lebourg occupies a marginal position in the tableau of French painters.
