Maxime Maufra

Maximilien Émile Louis Maufra was a French painter known for his landscapes and seascapes. He was born in Nantes, France, and began his artistic training at the École des Beaux-Arts in Nantes before moving to Paris to study under the painter Alexandre Cabanel.

Maufra was a member of the Pont-Aven School, a group of artists who gathered in the Brittany region of France in the late 19th century. He was also influenced by the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist movements, and his paintings are characterized by loose brushwork, bright colors, and a focus on capturing the effects of light and atmosphere.

Maufra's paintings often depict the rugged coastlines of Brittany, as well as the forests and countryside of Normandy. He was also known for his depictions of the ports and harbors of Brittany, which he often painted in a bold, colorful style.

Maufra exhibited his work at many important exhibitions, including the Salon des Indépendants and the Salon d'Automne in Paris. His work is represented in many important collections, including the Musée d'Orsay in Paris and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
