'''Johan Barthold Jongkind''' (Lattrop, [[Netherlands]], 1819 – Grenoble, 1891) was a Dutch [[painter]] and printmaker. He is considered a precursor of [[Impressionism]] whose watercolors influenced [[Eugene Boudin]] and [[Claude Monet]]. Jongkind is known as ''"the painter of Honfleur and Paris streets"''. He contributed to make watercoloring an art by itself.
Both, Baudelaire and Zola praised Jongkind's work.
