Description
Collection comprises portions of
19th-century French gallery archives acquired by the Dieterle family as they built their art
dealership and developed particular expertise in Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot. In addition to
those of Dieterle, the records of eight dealers (Goupil & Cie, Boussod Valadon &
Co., Tedesco Frères, Arnold et Tripp, Bague et Cie, Le Roy et Cie, Galerie Allard et Noel,
and Galerie Georges Petit) include stock ledgers, photographs of paintings, annotated
exhibition and sales catalogs, and clippings.
Background
The Dieterle family has owned an art gallery in Paris since the early 20th century, and
takes pride in three generations of Corot experts. The Fonds Dieterle grew out of the
various portions of archives acquired through Jean Dieterle, along with works of art, as the
family built its gallery business, and in the course of which they developed their expertise
in Corot.
