Paul Eschbach (1881 - 1961):
Paul Eschbach born in Paris. He is the son of an Alsatian officer who became a painter, which seems to have influenced his early taste for drawing and painting. He became an orphan young and was placed in an institution in the North of France. where the sister of the landscaper Gabriel Hubert spotted his talent and encouraged him to practice lithography from the age of 13. At the age of 16, he joined the Beaux-Arts in Lille, guided by Pharaon de Winter towards anecdotal painting, then joined the studio of Jean-Paul Laurens at the Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1900 and also took courses at the Académie Julian, where he later became a professor. In the first twenty years of his career, he became known for his portraits and genre scenes, but during a trip to Italy, attracted by outdoor painting, he began to compose seascapes, in 1920. Shortly after, he discovered Brittany and the port life in Concarneau. He enjoyed it so much that he became President of the Union Artistique de Concarneau with Henri Barnoin and Eugène Labitte, among others. An excellent colorist, he knew how to paint Brittany with the rigorous personality of a marine painter. He taught at the Julian Academy from 1912 to 1938. Gold medalist in 1920. This painter is present in many museums.
