Léon Printemps was a French artist known best for his work as a portrait and landscape painter. His work was largely part of the Symbolist movement and he experimented with a poetic or mythological vision and with the sensuality of the female nude. He also established his reputation as a portrait artist and a landscape painter. After the First World War he started painting landscapes in Brittany and particularly the islands of the Vendée coast, the island of Noirmoutier, the island of Yeu, where he painted seascapes and portraits of fishermen and old farmers’ wives.
