Albert Lebourg was born in Montfort-sur-Risle, France February 1, 1849 and died in Rouen January 7, 1928. Lebourg had an early interest in architecture and studied under the architect Drouin at the École Municipale de Dessin in Rouen. He became increasingly interested in art and through Drouin met the landscape painter Victor Delamarre (1811-1868) who advised and taught him.
Giving up architecture altogether, Lebourg decided to attend the École Municipale de Peinture et de Dessin in Rouen under Gustave Morin (1809- 1886). In 1871, he met the collector Laperlier through whom he obtained the post of professor of drawing at the Société des Beaux-Arts in Algiers.
In 1877, Lebourg gave up his teaching post in Algeria and returned to Paris. From 1878 to 1880, he would study at the atelier of Jean-Paul Laurens. It was at this point that he became aware of Impressionism. During this period Lebourg became friendly with Edgar Degas (1834-1917), Claude Monet and Alfred Sisley (1839-1899). He first exhibited at the Salon de la Société des Artistes Français in 1883 and again in 1886. In 1889, Lebourg would begin exhibiting at the foundation of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts and exhibit regularly from 1891 to 1914.
