"Bouquet d'Or"
Antoine SERRA was born in 1908 in Sardinia to a very poor family
He arrived in Marseille at the age of 6 and had to start working at a very young age to feed himself
He enrolled at the École des Beauxand won numerous awards
Politically active, he went to Spain to fight against Franco
As a proletarian painter, he joined the group centered around Ambrogiani, Toncini, Ferrari, Sari, Diana, and others after the war...
One day, he felt—and could no longer shake—a magnetic attraction to the Alpilles, which he discovered by chance during a trip, marveling at “landscapes enveloped in a light that magnifies their forms.” He then decided to settle in this region, which he did in 1946 by purchasing an old farmhouse, which he renovated over the years—the “Mas du Diable,” located at the foot of Les Baux-de-Provence.
He spent the last fifteen years of his life in Mouriès, a small Provençal village in the heart of the Alpilles, in a farmhouse he had restored. He died on May 6, 1995, at the age of 87.
