Le Jardin des Personnalités, Honfleur #4: Johan-Barthold Jongkind

Johan-Barthold Jonkind (1819-91) was a Dutch landscape painter, a friend of Boudin and Monet who worked in Honfleur (the plaque here states) between 1863 and 1865. In 1864 he wrote that he found Honfleur admirable, and that he very much liked the cider and bread from Normandy. There is a plaque in Nevers which states that he stayed in an auberge there between 1861 and 1875!
