Jean Massé (1856-1950) Mareuil sur Ourcq Oil on canvas Signed lower left 44x36cm very good condition, cleaned and revarnished by our workshop technical photographs on request. Jean Eugène Julien Massé (1856-1950) Post-Impressionist Landscape Painter born in Meaux (Seine et Marne) in 1856, died in 1950. In 1879, after spending three years in a battalion of foot hunters in Algeria, Jean Massé attended the Beaux-Arts courses in Amiens and then in Paris in Boulanger's studio. Around 1882 Jean Massé settled in Luzancy and became a student of the painter Alexandre Bouché. Inspired by the Brie countryside, the banks of the Marne, or Brittany, the subtle touch of nuanced colored grays makes the foliage and light of his compositions quiver in the manner of the masters of 19th century landscapes.
