Hippolyte Camille Delpy (1842 - 1910) — Auction price
Hippolyte Camille Delpy was a French painter.
He came from a moderately wealthy family from Joigny, in the Burgundy region of France. His son, Henry Jacques Delpy (1877-1957), also became a painter, as did a cousin on his father's side, Lucien-Victor Delpy (1898-1967).
Delpy studied with Charles-François Daubigny as well as Corot. A contemporary of the Impressionists, Delpy blended the subject matter that he adopted from Daubigny with the brighter colors and looser paint handling that were trademarks of his own generation to create distinctive new visions of many of the landscapes first explored by the Barbizon artists.
