There, he developed a predilection for Impressionist landscapes, painting with finesse those around Paris and along the French coast. His luminous works were exhibited in prestigious salons in Paris and Russia. In 1927, he was awarded the Légion d'honneur. A frequent resident of Crécy-la-Chapelle, he donated several works to the town, and a street now bears his name. Expert | Maxime CHARRON
