Most of these painters are barely "inconnus". However, perhaps those works are "méconnues"?

Wonderful!
Hi David, the blog is not just about painters you have never heard of. It's about lesser seen aspects of well known works and artists too.
Why did they leave the easel? There are secret stories in these works. - Think, our life ist always not completed, just a sketch. Thanks for posting!
J'aime beaucoup votre billet , l'inachevé ... et vos choix de peintures pour illustrer.EB.
Beautiful paintings, and "inconnus". Thanks!
These unfinished paintings are a valuable source of information on the techniques and materials used by the artists such as: which kind of ground was used, if the priming was white or if it was added a colour to it (a very common practice on the second half of 18 c. and the beginning of 19 c.) as it can be seen on "Angelique" by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres; if the paint/colour were directly applied on the support or if it has be done a preparatory drawing as can be seen on "Study for the Raft of the Medusa" by Théodore Géricault.
That information, together with other historical sources and analytical methods, can help on: identifying, dating, authentication and on treatments of conservation and restoration of paintings. Thank you for the very interesting post!
I love seeing unfinished master paintings. You have a couple there that i have never seen before. Thanks for posting these.
Thank you for acknowledging these beautiful unfinished pieces. I love being witness to the vulnerable stage of art!
