Paul Chenay

Paul Chenay is an Impressionism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Printmaker Paul Chenay made stiff, fine lines that filled walls with tiny figures and busy patterns. His one dated work in this set, H Beard Print Collection from 1857, shows dozens of people crammed into a narrow space, every face and coat hook captured in sharp hatching. It feels like a snapshot of mid-1800s Paris, where shop fronts and public rooms hummed with daily life. To see more of his crowded scenes, tap H Beard Print Collection.
