Maxime Maufra is a little different than most painters you read about. Originally from Nantes, France he started off as a businessman who painted because he loved to do it. It wasn’t until he was almost 30 that Maufra decided to focus exclusively on painting and had by that point only been painting in the impressionist style for 6 years. Nonetheless, his landscape paintings are absolutely beautiful. Maxime Maufra’s illustrations of French countryside visages and beautiful beaches are wonderful. | Read More

When it comes to impressionist painting, I find that most people tend to focus on a few artists with big names almost to the exclusion of all others. Certainly Van Gogh, Monet, Manet, Degas, and Pissarro deserve the praise and attention that their work has drawn, but there are many impressionist painters who are undeservedly almost completely ignored. One of my favorite painters within this group is Maxime Maufra. | See More
