| Summary | "Bastien Lepage" by François Crastre is a biography written in the early 20th century that explores the life and work of the influential French painter Jules Bastien-Lepage, who lived from 1848 to 1884. This book delves into the remarkable journey of an artist who captured the essence of rural life and portrayed the peasant class with striking realism. It reflects on his artistic development and the impact of his brief but significant career in the art world. The biography intricately details Bastien-Lepage's upbringing in Lorraine, his passion for painting, and his commitment to depicting the realities of peasant life. Key highlights include his successful works such as "The Song of Springtime," "Hay-making," and his profound portraits that convey both the beauty and the struggles of everyday life. The book also touches on his influence on contemporary artists and his tragic early death, which left a lasting void in the art community. Crastre emphasizes Bastien-Lepage's dedication to his roots, portraying not just individual subjects but the broader essence of rural humanity, as reflected in his powerful and honest artistic vision.
