Born in the Lille region, Léon Printemps (1871-1945) got down to painting from the age of thirteen, encouraged by his uncle and mentor, the sculptor Jules Printemps (1851-1989). He joined evening classes at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1888, joined Gustave Moreau's studio in 1892, and surrounded himself with avant-garde artists such as Rouault, Matisse and the Belgian painter Henri Evenepoel. . “The meeting with Moreau, the master of Symbolism, will be decisive for his sensitivity. He fully adheres to the artistic theses of his teacher, exhibiting twelve paintings at the last Salon de la Rose-Croix in March 1897,” explains expert Dominique Voutay. As part of the tradition of symbolist painters, Léon Printemps received numerous prizes throughout his career and exhibited from 1893 at the Salon des Artistes Français, an annual meeting to which he remained faithful until his death in 1945.
