Émile Brin (1863-1950) - Paisaje Rural con puente sobre el río

Artist

Excellent oil on board by the renowned French painter Émile Quentin Léon Brin (France, 1863-1950), an artist of great significance in the European pictorial scene of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Brin was trained at the prestigious École Nationale des Beaux-Arts de Paris under the guidance of master Alexandre Cabanel, one of the most prominent educators of French academic art. His first exhibition took place in 1888 at the Salon of French Artists, and he later participated in the Salon of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, the Salon des Indépendants, the Salon d'Automne, and the Salon d'Hiver. This career trajectory affirms his recognition within the Parisian art circuits of his time.
