Durand-Ruel et Cie - Durand-Ruel Introduction (English)

Japanese: デュラン･リュエル商会 - デュランリュエルしょうかい（英語表記）Durand‐Ruel et Cie

A Parisian art dealer. He started out as a stationery and art supply store, and in 1840, the first Jean Durand (whose wife's surname was Ruel) opened a store as an art dealer dealing mainly in the Barbizon School. In 1865, his son Paul took over the store, and became their financial backbone by purchasing works by unknown Impressionists. With the help of his three sons, Paul played an important role in anticipating trends in the art world of the time, such as holding solo exhibitions of painters from Impressionism to Post-Impressionism at a fairly early stage. It closed in 1974.

パリの画商。文具，画材店から身を起こし，1840年に初代ジャン･デュラン(妻の姓はリュエル)によってバルビゾン派を主に扱う画商として店を開く。1865年に，その子ポールが店を継ぎ，まだ無名の印象派の作品を買い入れて彼らの経済的支柱となった。ポールは3人の息子の助力を得，印象派から後期印象派までの画家たちの個展をかなり早い時期に行うなど，この時代の美術界の動向を先取りする重要な役割を担った。1974年に閉店。
