Eugène Berthelon is a French painter born in 1829 in Paris. He learned painting from Eugène Lavieille and Etienne-Prosper Berne-Bellecour. 
He was fascinated by the Breton seaside and forest landscapes, which he immortalized with a precise and agile stroke. Berthelon uses soft colors such as gray or pink, under a clear sky, lightly lit by the sun or the moon. 
He was 35 years old when he exhibited for the first time in 1864. These exhibitions made him successful and from 1881 to 1914 he presented his works at the Salon des artistes français. He also won a silver medal at the Universal Exhibition of 1889. 
He died in 1916 in Paris, where he lived the last years of his life. Eugène Berthelon painted an important work, full of tender colors and bewitching landscapes.
