Louis Cabié, a renowned artist in France and particularly in the Bordeaux region, even during his lifetime, traveled throughout the great southwest throughout his life. A student of Harpignies whose passion for vegetation can be found in the manner of the Barbizon school, he would transcribe until his death the simplicity of picturesque French landscapes. Spectacular trees, forest atmospheres, places steeped in history, captivating valleys, or even a landscape in its simplest form that he would enhance with a vital contrast.

If you are looking for a painter known for his still lifes, it is not Cabié who you should go to. This part of his work is completely minor, never presented at exhibitions. Today, only six works are listed, dating from the artist's beginnings to the very end of his life. Should we see this as a hobby, or commissions?
