Léon COUTURIER
Mâcon, 1842 - Neuilly-sur-Seine, 1935
Oil on canvas
38 x 55 cm
Signed lower right "Léon Couturier".
First a student at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Lyon in 1860, Léon Couturier continued his training in Paris in 1864 in the studio of the academic painter Alexandre Cabanel.
Marked by his participation in the 1870 war, he decided in the 1880s to devote himself to depicting military ships and the life of sailors. Appointed official painter to the navy in 1890, he was awarded the Légion d'Honneur in 1897. He regularly exhibited his paintings at the Salon des Artistes Français.
Many of Couturier's paintings of the French navy can be found in the Musée National de la Marine in Paris.
Here we have a particularly successful Couturier painting of a naval battle scene. The painter's rendering of the event is both highly realistic, with lots of movement and a real sense of drama - we're right in the thick of the action!
