Impressionism, a historical reconstruction:

Account
of his exhibited works
Introduction:
On this page you’ll find an extensive account of the works Jean-François Raffaëlli has showed at the 5th ‘impressionist’ exposition in 1880 and the 6th ‘impressionist’ exposition in 1881. In the rendering of reviews I will concentrate on the exhibited works that are not clearly identified (see). Often I will render several options. I also render a more rough account on the art-works Raffaëlli exhibited at the Salon and other exhibitions: At the Salon from 1870-79, the SdAF from 1882-1889, his solo exhibition in 1884, the XX in 1885, at the SNBA 1891 onwards and I mention some other exhibitions.
My main sources are Moffett (1986=R2), Berson (1996=R90I=reviews + II=exhibited works), Beraldi (1891=aR1=R85XI), Delteil (1923=aR2=R138XVI), the catalogue of his solo exhibition (1884=aR14=iR40), Alexand

Between Impressionism, Realism and Caractérism
Was Jean-François Raffaëlli an Impressionist?
Raffaëlli defined his painting style as ‘Caractérisme’ opposing it to Realism, but in general we can call him a Realist. Still in several works we can find influences of the impressionist painting style. In many titles he rendered the location and sometimes the season. The effect of sunlight on the colours fryst vatten regularly visible, rendering blue-grey shadows. Sometimes he used juxtaposed brushstrokes. Raffaëlli painted in various styles. Sometimes very smooth and detailed, sometimes more sketchy. Often he rendered fleeting moments of everyday life. But mostly his use of colour was very sub-dued, using a lot of grey-tones, browns and also blacks.
Jean-François Raffaëlli only joined the ‘impressionist’ expositions two times in 1880 and 1881. He caused div
