Espérance Léon Cléophas Broquet, known as Léon Broquet, born in Paris on November 1, 1869 and died on December 29, 1935 in Châteauroux, is a painter and French engraver specializing in landscape painting, seascapes and history painting. A student of Claude Monet, Antoine Guillemet and Alexandre Nozal, he produced many oils on canvas, but also etchings, watercolors and murals. Renowned as an army painter during the 1914-1918 war, he left around 1929 to join the group of Concarneau painters. He exhibited at the Salon of French Artists in Paris from 1901 until 1931, and received a second class medal in 1912 for Winter in the Marsh, Snow Effect, which classified him out of competition for the rest of his career. He is the great-grandfather of the painter and designer Virginie Broquet.
His works are exhibited at the Musée d'Orsay, the army museum...
