A French landscape painter, Victor Dupré was taught painting by his brother Jules Dupré (April 5, 1812 - October 6, 1889). Like his brother, he was friends with Théodore Rousseau, Constable, Turner, Crome, and Bonington, the great landscape artists of the time. He was awarded the third prize at the Salon of 1849.In circa 1850, he began painting rustic scenes of nature, his favorite subjects. A plein air artist, he traveled throughout France, painting its riverbanks and the stormy skies of Berry, the Limousin region, and Normandy.
