Pierre-Antoine Demachy was a French painter and master of architectural landscapes.
He studied architecture at the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture and specialized in drawing ruins, architectural structures and scenery. Due to his success in his art, he became a royal master of architectural decorations for entertaining events. Demachy also taught students of painting at the Louvre Palace.
Gustave Loiseau was a French artist known for his landscapes and scenes of the Parisian streets.
In 1890, Gustave Loiseau first travelled to Pont-Aven in Brittany, where he met Paul Gauguin and Emile Bernard. Having experimented with pointillism, he adopted his own approach to post-impressionism, painting landscapes directly from life. His technique, known as en treillis or cross-hatching, gave his works a special quality.
Gustave Loiseau's paintings, which reveal his passion for the seasons from the early spring to the late autumn harvest, often depict the same garden or garden scene over time. Series of this kind, which also include cliffs, harbours or churches, are reminiscent of Claude Monet.
