Leon Bellemont (1866-1961)

Léon Bellemont was a French marine painter born in Langres, in North-eastern France. He was a pupil of Leon Bonnat and exhibited in 1896 at the Salon of French Artists. He went on to receive a medal in 1905.

As a member of the Society of French Artists, he was noticed by his Breton navies and was placed in Hors-Concours in 1925, the year in which he was awarded the Marie Bashkirtseff Prize and the Bonnat Students’ Association Prize.

Victor Charreton (1864-1936)

Victor Charreton

(1864-1936) belongs to a generation of artists who devoted themselves to ‘le paysage’, just like the Impressionists did before them, paying attention to the influence of seasons, light and colours. Furthermore, he travelled extensively and together with his wife, he visited Italy, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, England, Spain and Morocco. His evolution tended towards a use of richer and brighter colours, notably in the mauves and violets which characterize his style. Victor Charreton is famous for his landscapes and still-life paintings, often sharing Impressionist preoccupations whilst trying to capture momentary effects of specific times of day or seasons, at sunset or in a snowy landscape.
