SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
The French painter and draughtsman Edmé-Émile Laborne, born and died in Paris, devoted his work to urban views and landscapes, with a preference for the coasts of Normandy and the Loire Valley. His career began with studies in law—after attending Lycée Henri-IV, he obtained a law degree in 1859—and continued with training at the École des beaux-arts de Paris, where he studied with Jules Noël and Eugène Lacoste.
He exhibited at the Salon from 1865 to 1890. Several works are recorded in public collections: Une rue à Vitré at the musée des Beaux-Arts de Béziers, Vue de la tour Saint-Antoine à Loches at the musée des Beaux-Arts de Blois, on loan from the musée d’Orsay, and Marine at the musée des Beaux-Arts de Mulhouse.
A publication concerning the reattribution to Albert Lebourg of a painting in Budapest notes that Laborne had also painted scenes of this type. It describes his approach as more meticulous, with less free brushwork and a palette that is less complex and personal than that of the painting under study. His studio was located at 1 rue Joubert, in the 9th arrondissement of Paris.
