Pierre Ambrogiani (1907-1985) Bouquet

Pierre Ambrogiani, born on January 17, 1907, in Ajaccio and deceased in 1985 in Allauch, grew up in Marseille, where his family settled in 1908. Starting in 1937, he devoted himself entirely to painting, building his reputation with still lifes of Mediterranean fish and landscapes of Provence. These works are characterized by bold and vigorous brushstrokes, along with a generous use of texture and color. In 1967, he won the Concours des Peintres Témoins de Leur Temps, cementing his artistic talent.

This vibrant floral still life, characterized by a rich texture and a vivid color palette emblematic of the artist, was showcased during the exhibition "From Matisse to Chagall: The Journey of the Peintres Témoins de Leur Temps", inaugurated in May 2023 at the Musée Jean Couty in Lyon. The work is also reproduced in the exhibition catalog on page 46.
