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 French painter and 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, watercolours and murals. Recognised as a painter in the army during the 1914-1918 war, he left around 1929 to join the group of painters of Concarneau. He exhibited at the Salon des artistes français in Paris from 1901 to 1931, and received a second class medal in 1912 for L'hiver au marais, effet de neige, which placed 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 Musée de l'Armée...
