Order of value from a simple work to the most prestigious

Artist's style and technique 

Although he belongs to the Post-Impressionist movement, Montézin's style follows in Monet's footsteps. He applies himself to enlivening and magnifying colors and lighting effects, restoring the vigorous energy of this resplendent nature. Montezin imbues his landscape paintings with a certain speed and vitality, using an expeditious brush and an assertive serif.

The life of Pierre Eugène Montézin

Pierre Eugène Montézin was born into a wealthy family. He lived in a rural setting, which enabled him to observe nature and immerse himself in the landscapes that would later form the core of his work. From elementary school onwards, he worked as a decorator in a house and later as an ornamentalist on fleur-de-lys panels. He then took up oil painting, eventually abandoning decoration in favor of landscape painting. However, despite his persistence and unbridled output, the canvases he regularly sent to the Salon des artistes français were rejected. At the beginning of the twentieth century, he was finally accepted. 

Montézin's mark on the times

Montézin's hard work over more than thirty years was finally rewarded when he was inducted as president of the jury of the Salon des artistes français. In 1936, he exhibited at the Galerie du Journal and then at the famous Galerie Durand Ruel, which considerably boosted his reputation. His ultimate consecration came in 1941, when he inherited Édouard Vuillard's chair at the Académie des Beaux-Arts.
