Interesting facts:
Adolphe Joseph Thomas Monticelli (October 14, 1824, in Marseille, France – June 29, 1886, in Marseille, France) was a French painter and a precursor of Impressionism, said to have had Italian roots. Adolphe Monticelli was enrolled at Lycée Tiers. From 1842 to 1846, he attended the École des Beaux-Arts in Marseille. Afterwards, he studied at the Paris École des Beaux-Arts under Paul Delaroche. In Paris, he visited the Musée du Louvre to copy works by classical masters. He was influenced by the works of Eugène Delacroix and painted both portraits and oriental scenes. Despite his academic training, he painted with bold brushstrokes, without the smooth academic precision that was customary at the time. Vincent van Gogh was inspired by Monticelli but never met him, as Monticelli died in 1886, a few months before van Gogh's arrival in Paris.

"Art only comes into being in the eyes and hearts of the individual viewers. For it is not the inspiration, the creative spirit, the creativity or the impulsiveness of the artist that truly reaches them, but only what they want to see, sense, feel or invent when they look at it."
