59 - VARIN, Achille (1863–1942)

VARIN, Achille (1863–1942) Snow in Paris, Luxembourg Garden. Oil on canvas. Signed and inscribed “Amical souvenir” in the lower left corner. (Heavily damaged in the lower portion; frame detached) 68 x 92.5 cm Note: A student of Jules Lefebvre and Gustave Boulanger, Achille Varin (1863–1942) was a French painter active in Paris who began exhibiting at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1890. His work, devoted primarily to landscapes and scenes of daily life, was recently highlighted in an exhibition at the Château-Musée de Nemours in 2024–2025. This oil on canvas, titled *Snow in Paris, Luxembourg Gardens*, corresponds to a composition reproduced in the artist’s catalog, where it had previously been listed as of unknown location. Its reappearance on the art market thus allows for the redocumentation of this work, which depicts one of the capital’s most iconic gardens under the snow.
