Vous avez envie de voir Monet dans son jardin de Giverny, Degas en galante compagnie ou Rodin sculpter dans son studio ? Sachez qu&#x2019;il existe bel et bien des vidéos de ces artistes, les montrant à l&#x2019;ouvrage ou dans la vie de tous les jours, et cela grâce à un certain Sacha Guitry, qui a immortalisé au début du siècle dernier les plus grands artistes et écrivains de son temps dans quelques courts films muets.

Le site [Open Culture](http://www.openculture.com/2015/09/watch-1915-video-of-monet-renoir-rodin-creating-art-and-edgar-degas-taking-a-stroll.html) a partagé ces images rares, qu&#x2019;on vous laisse voir ci-dessous.

This is unique film of French Impressionist painter Claude Monet (1840-1926), painting outdoors, 'en plein air', in his garden at Giverny.

The footage is in two segments.

Firstly we see the artist outdoors talking to a gentleman.

Then we see Monet painting a water lily-padded pond, a subject for which he is most famed.

Enjoy!

Claude Monet - Filmed Painting Outdoors (1915)

This is unique film of the father of modern sculpture, Auguste Rodin (1840-1917), working in his studio in Paris in 1915.

What is particularly interesting in the various pieces of footage is seeing -- close up - the artist's process with marble.

There are four segments of film:

[1] The artist walking up and down the steps of a monumental columned building, and inspecting the structure

[2] Rodin posing top-hatted in a garden 

[3] The sculptor coming out of the then derelict C18 Hôtel Biron, which the artist used as his studio

[4] Rodin sculpting in his studio  


Enjoy!

Pierre-Auguste Renoir - Filmed Painting at Home (1919)

This is unique footage of the great Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919).

He is seen at home, working on a canvas.

I'm just astonished it exists - I never imagined I'd see film of him painting - you even get a sense of his method of applying the oil to the canvas.

Also present in this footage are Renoir's youngest son Claude, 14, who stands by to arrange the palette and place the brush in his father's hand, and Sacha Guitry, the man who made this film in 1915 and who appears midway through the film sitting down and talking with the artist.

Enjoy!
