Since 2017, the Fabre Museum has housed the “François Daulte” collection, comprising the archives of the art historian, author of, among other works, the first catalogue raisonné of Frédéric Bazille (1841-1870). This collection is complemented by an exceptional set of 76 autograph letters from Frédéric Bazille, 8 letters from his father Gaston Bazille, and 22 letters from his artist friends, including Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, and Edmond Maître.
To promote this collection and, more broadly, the research of François Daulte, it was decided to establish an annual ” François Daulte ” grant of €10,000 for postdoctoral researchers. The 2023 grant recipient is Augustin de Butler, who is studying the correspondence of Auguste Renoir.
The ” François Daulte ” research grant will support research in history and art history in line with François Daulte’s fields of study, particularly on the following themes:
• The life and work of Frédéric Bazille, Alfred Sisley and Auguste Renoir
• The beginnings of Impressionism
• Impressionism and the graphic arts
• Exhibiting and collecting Impressionism
• The history of art criticism during the second half of the 19thcentury
• Cultural and artistic life in Montpellier during the second half of the 19th century
