About Albert Marie Lebourg

Albert Marie Lebourg (1849–1928) was a French landscape painter associated with Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, and the Rouen School. Born in Montfort-sur-Risle in Normandy, he trained and worked in a luminous, atmospheric style centered on the rivers, skies, and rural panoramas of northern France. Over a prolific career he produced more than two thousand landscapes, working in oil, pastel, and watercolor. He exhibited with the Société des Artistes Français and was represented over the years by leading Paris galleries including Bernheim-Jeune, Paul Rosenberg, and Georges Petit. His work is documented in major library authority files including the Bibliothèque nationale de France, the Library of Congress, and the Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie, reflecting his established place in the history of French landscape painting.

Common works and media

Lebourg is best known for oil-on-canvas landscape paintings depicting views of the Seine, Rouen, the Normandy countryside, and other northern French locales. He also produced a substantial number of pastels and watercolors with the same atmospheric subjects, as well as preparatory drawings and sketches. Collectors may encounter his work across a range of sizes, from small panel studies to larger exhibition-scale canvases.

Market and appraisal context

Albert Marie Lebourg's work trades in an established, liquid secondary market. Appraisily's auction-record index tracks 224 lots, of which 113 carry a realized price, spanning sales from May 1993 through March 2026. The priced-lot distribution shows a wide but meaningful spread: the low end starts around €15 (typically small works on paper or ink drawings), the 25th percentile sits near €500, the median is approximately €3,000, the 75th percentile reaches €7,600, and the top recorded price is €27,500. Market activity is increasing — 19 lots appeared in the most recent 12-month window versus 10 in the prior 12 months — suggesting renewed auction interest. Major houses that have offered Lebourg include Christie's, Sotheby's, Osenat, Hampel Fine Art Auctions, Dorotheum, Hargesheimer Kunstauktionen Düsseldorf, Thomaston Place Auction Galleries, Millon & Associés, Bassenge, Piasa, Neumeister, Leclere, Tradart Deauville, Accademia Fine Art, and Jeschke Jádi. Oil-on-canvas landscapes of the Seine, Rouen, and Normandy are the most recognizable lots; works on paper (watercolors, pastels, ink drawings) form a lower-priced secondary tier. Recent confirmed Lebourg sales include an 1873 oil-on-panel landscape (Paysage avec maisons) at Osenat for €2,500 in March 2026, a Lebourg painting at Thomaston Place for $3,000 in February 2026, and watercolors at Osenat in the €350–€440 range in July 2025. Sotheby's listed Péniches sur la Seine à Paris in July 2025 (result not disclosed in the feed).

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Impressionist & Modern Art
  • 19th Century European Paintings
  • Old Master & 19th Century Drawings
  • Works on Paper

Value drivers

  1. Subject and composition — atmospheric landscapes of Normandy, the Seine, and Rouen are most sought after
  2. Medium — oil on canvas commands premium over works on paper; pastels and watercolors form a secondary tier
  3. Size and condition — larger, well-preserved canvases with strong Impressionist light effects tend to outperform
  4. Provenance and exhibition history — works with documented gallery provenance (Bernheim-Jeune, Paul Rosenberg, Georges Petit) carry added value
  5. Attribution — works must be carefully attributed; the artist used multiple name variants which can complicate catalogue searches
  6. Medium — oil on canvas commands the highest values; oil on panel is a close second; pastels and watercolors form a mid-tier; ink drawings and small works on paper sit at the lower end

Appraisal caveats

  • Lebourg produced over 2,000 landscapes during his career, so supply is relatively broad and not all works carry equal market weight.
  • Attribution should account for the artist's use of multiple name forms (Albert-Charles Lebourg, Charles Albert Lebourg) across different periods and galleries.
  • No single catalogue raisonné is cited in the available sources; authentication may require expert connoisseurship.
  • The recent-lots feed includes non-Lebourg entries that matched on the first name 'Albert' (e.g., Joseph Albert, Hermann Albert, Juri Albert, Albert Besnard); the aggregate statistics (224 lots, price distribution) are derived from a broader query and may include some noise, though the top-auction-houses and confirmed Lebourg-specific lots align with the known market.
