Biography :
Pierre Alexis LESAGE 1872 / 1932
Pierre-Alexis Lesage, born in Nantes on August 20, 1872 and died in the same city on March 26, 1932, was a French painter.
Son of Pierre-Alexis Lesage, a wine merchant, and Jeanine Emma Marie de Kerhor, Pierre-Alexis Lesage was born in Nantes on August 20, 1872, where he began his studies before following his family to Pau in 18861.
After doing his military service in Perpignan in 1890, he enrolled at the Ecole des Beaux-arts in Paris in 1893. From 1893 to 1897, he studied with Jean-Léon Gérôme, Fernand Cormon and Gustave Moreau.
On completing his studies, he returned to Nantes, where he lived until his death. He traveled throughout France and to art cities in Germany, Italy and Holland in search of inspiration.
Pierre-Alexis Lesage is a painter of landscapes, still lifes and portraits. He drew his inspiration from the paintings of masters such as Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot, but also from other regional artists exhibited at the Musée des Beaux-arts de Nantes.
On July 28, 1897, the Société des Artistes Nantais was founded, with Pierre-Alexis Lesage, who had returned to his native city, as one of its 21 members2. This society arose from a split in the Société des Amis des Arts, following the claim by some members to a local and Breton identity. The aim of its members was to better represent regional artists: each year, the association organized its own salon. From 1902, it became the Société des Artistes Bretons. The last salon was held in February 1914.
At the same time, Pierre-Alexis Lesage taught intermediate and elementary drawing classes at the Ecole des Beaux-arts for boys. He left the school in 1928-1929.
He exhibited in Paris in 1928 and 1930.
He died in Nantes on March 26, 1932. A retrospective exhibition of his work was organized in Nantes from December 22, 1932 to January 29, 1933 by Fernand Pineau-Chaillou, curator of the Musée des Beaux-arts.
The Musée d'arts de Nantes owns some fifty of his paintings and part of his library.
