Léon Marie Jouenne 1845-1912

A Norman painter and wood engraver, he loved genre scenes and still lifes.

A pupil of Hector Handeau, his paintings were exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français, where he was awarded a medal in 1902.
Here, he offers us an atypical still life, very luminous and colorful.

The artist has a real talent for light, admiring the gradation of the background, the whiteness of the porcelain, the delicacy with which the irises are treated.

A refined, poetic work.
