See the photo of Giuseppe Vittorio Lumbroso commonly called "Guy Le Florentin" born in 1907 in Livorno, spent his childhood and adolescence in Italy and arrived in Marseille in the 1920s. He met Raimu who told him that he had "a movie face" (photo) and who offered him to make movies but Guy Le Florentin declined because he declared that he preferred to devote himself to painting. He was a student of Jean Paul Laurens, a history painter in Marseille. Guy Le Florentin mainly uses the technique of impasto with a painting knife on oil paint, giving a lot of relief to his landscapes. He is mainly known for his landscapes of Provence and Corsica, but earns his living by producing commissioned portraits. In 1927, he founded La Galerie contemporaine in Paris (Montmartre). He lived in Corsica from 1930 to 1938, then lived between Marseille, Monaco and Paris until the end of his life. He died in 1978, saying "I am the happiest of men... because I no longer own anything."
