Adolphe-Félix Cais - The Farm at Saint Simon, Honfleur [1876]


Adolphe-Félix Cais (October 17, 1810 - October 3, 1880) was a French painter. Having divided his time between Paris and Honfleur since 1871, he finally decided to settle down, in 1873, in Honfleur, a port in Normandy which was home to many painters, and has been called "the cradle of impressionism.” At the invitation of Monet, he participated in the first Impressionist exhibition in 1874, and 1876 until 1881.
