Albert PIERSON 1854–1923
A French artist, he has developed a body of work devoted primarily to landscapes, cityscapes, and depictions of everyday life, working in both Paris and Brittany.
Pierson's artistic calling emerged relatively late in life and is notable for having developed in parallel with his early career in the military.
During his artistic training, Albert-Léopold Pierson studied, among others, under the Lorraine landscape painter Edmond Marie Petitjean (1844–1925).
He exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français from 1904 to 1920, before also showing his works at the Salon des Indépendants. His body of work at that time reflected a wide geographical range: the artist painted everything from the streets and gardens of Paris to Versailles and Normandy

Paris plays an important role in his work. Pierson is interested not only in the modern city but also in its gardens, monuments, and historic neighborhoods. The Bois de Boulogne, the Luxembourg and Tuileries Gardens, the area around the Grand Palais...
Pierson seems to be trying to capture the city in its everyday atmosphere: passersby, bustling streets, shifts in light, and changes in the weather all play a full part in his compositions.
Some of his work is now held in French public collections, notably at the Musée du Faouët, which houses several important pieces from his Breton period, while works dedicated to Paris are part of the collections at the Musée Carnavalet
