The first artists gathered when Bazille, Monet, Renoir and Sisley met at Charles Gleyre's studio where they were all were studying in 1862. Manet, Degas & Bazille came from elegant, bourgeois families; Monet, Renoir & Cezanne were rougher, provincial lads. <br /><br />But it was Bazille who enabled some of the poorer artists to survive, by paying their bills. Before the Franco-Prussian war, he put bread on the plates of the starving painters, Monet, Renoir and Pissarro, as well as their spouses and children. Pissarro said his children would have died of starvation, had it not been for Bazille's extraordinary generosity.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.com
