Daniel TARDIEU 1861-1928

Is a French painter from Talence near Bordeaux.

He began his training at the Beaux-Arts with the two great painters René Princeteau and John-Lewis Brown.
The latter two, both from Bordeaux, specialized in equestrian paintings.
This undoubtedly influenced the young Tardieu, who was also quick to specialize in hunting scenes and equestrian and military sports.

He exhibited at La Nationale, at the Bordeaux Horse Show as part of the Société des Artistes Aquitains and at the major French Salons.
