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 chasseurs in Algeria, Jean Massé studied at the Beaux-Arts 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 Briard countryside, the banks of the Marne, and Brittany, his subtle brushwork—nuanced with colored grays—brings the foliage and light in his compositions to life, in the style of the 19th-century masters of landscape painting.
