Victor Charreton

Bourgoin-Jallieu, 1864 - Clermont-Ferrand, Francia, 1936
Charreton's figure fits well into the landscape school of the Lyon tradition with its taste for impastos, its search for momentary effects, hours and seasons. Curiosity drove him to capture perfectly the spirit of the places he visited. In 1931 he inaugurated the Bourgoin Museum to which he donated twenty works; the museum would later change its name to the Victor Charreton Museum. In 1972 the Montmartre Museum organized a posthumous retrospective exhibition for him.
