Albert Lebourg (1849-1928) was a prolific French Impressionist who exhibited many times with Monet, Pissaro, Degas and Matisse.

As an Impressionist and Post-Impressionist landscape painter of the Rouen School (l'École de Rouen) and Member of the Société des Artistes Français, Lebourg actively worked in a luminous Impressionist style, creating more than 2,000 landscapes during his lifetime. In 1876, Lebourg exhibited his works for the first time together with Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and other artists on the Boulevard Montmartre. In the Fourth Impressionist Exhibition of 1879 Lebourg exhibited 30 works with Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro and Edgar Degas, presenting paintings and drawings executed in Algiers.
Lebourg remained occupied in all four seasons painting animated scenes of the Seine in and near Rouen and Paris. He energetically painted the surroundings of Paris, painting what he would regard as his best works. He wrote at the time:
"I will paint often at the banks of the Seine: Nanterre, Rueil, Chatou, Bougival, Port-Marly. These are a source of themes and very beautiful landscapes".
13 November 1909, the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen opened a show with fifty-two paintings: thirteen by Lebourg, three by Monet, nine by Sisley, one by Renoir, three by Armand Guillaumin, five by Joseph Delattre, two by Charles Frechon and four by Robert Antoine Pinchon. And in 1918, in the same museum, Lebourg was represented along with Bonnard, Boudin, Camoin, Cross, Guillaumin, Luce, Matisse, Monet, Signac and Vuillard and Pinchon.
Lebourg is held in such important collections as the Louvre, the Musée Marmottan Monet, and the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, and such international collections as the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg and the National Museum of Western Art in Tokyo.
