Breton Coastal Landscape, 1937, By Louis Prieur

Trained at the Académie Julian and later at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he studied under Eugène Montézin and Henri Royer, among others, Louis Prieur made numerous trips to Brittany, particularly to Camaret and the Crozon Peninsula.
He began exhibiting at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1914 and became a member in 1920.
Notably, he was awarded a gold medal in 1935.
This work depicts a rocky Breton coastline and reflects his attachment to Breton landscapes, which he particularly cherished during his stays in Camaret and on the Crozon Peninsula.
