Victor Charreton 1864-1936 belongs to a generation of artists who devoted themselves to ‘le paysage’, just like the impressionists did before them, paying attention to the influence of seasons, light and colours. Furthermore, he travelled extensively and together with his wife, he visited Italy, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, England, Spain and Marocco. His evolution tended towards a use of richer and brighter colours, notably in the mauves and violets which characterize his style.
