Hsp Louis-alexandre Cabié

Oil on panel by Louis-Alexandre Cabié (1853-1939)

French landscape painter.

A pupil of Hippolyte Pradelles then of Henri Harpignies, very influenced by Gustave Courbet and Camille Corot, of whom he was a friend, Cabié began to participate in the Salon des Artistes Français in 1887, then in the Paris Salon from 1894 where he obtained numerous medals, including that of the Legion of Honor in 1908. After settling in Paris in 1903, which he left definitively in 1919, he created his studio in Bordeaux where he taught Louis Marius Gueit and François Bugnicourt.
Its landscapes are the main testimony of Charentes, Périgord, Bordelaiss or Landes. His soft palette of enameled colors catches the eye and contributes to the impression of tranquility that emanates from all his work.

His works are present in many museums, including the Luxembourg Museum, the museums of Orsay, Bordeaux, Alençon, Angers, Saintes, Périgueux.

Our painting depicts a harvest scene under a stormy sky.
