Alfred Marzin (1880 - 1943) born in St Yriex in Haute Vienne. Student of Yan d'Argent. He exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français from 1920 to 1939. His production is exclusively devoted to Brittany: views of ports and small towns, scenes of the daily life of peasants and fishermen. In 1931 and 1932, he wrote and illustrated tourist brochures dedicated to Finistère and Morbihan, published by the Compagnie des Chemins de Fer de Paris à Orléans (of which he was also one of the employees).
