Russian painter born in Reval (now Tallinn, Estonia) and died in Paris in 1947.
He trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich before moving to Paris to study at the Académie Julian under Jules Lefebvre, Benjamin Constant, and Tony Robert-Fleury between 1890 and 1893.
After completing his studies, he traveled to the United States and then to Brazil, where he settled for three years as a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Salvador de Bahia.
He longed for France, to which he returned in 1896, before spending another two years in London. In 1900, he discovered Concarneau and settled there. A year later, he married a woman from Concarneau, which anchored him for a long time in this region, which became his adopted home. He was naturalized as a French citizen on June 15, 1910.
He exhibited at all the Parisian art salons from 1906 through 1939. Works by Maurice Grün are on view at museums in Avranches, Nantes, Vannes, and Le Faouët.
