Paul Emile Lecomte (1877-1950)

Paul Émile Lecomte was born on October 29, 1877 in Paris and died in September 1950 in Paris.

Lecomte studied at the École des Beaux-Arts and then worked for the maritime ministry.

He was appointed official painter of the French Navy in 1921.

Painter of watercolors and oils, etcher.

He was first a student of Fernand Cormon and his uncle Paul Lecomte.

Paul-Émile Lecomte was a member of the Salon des Artistes Français and exhibited regularly at the Parisian salon throughout his career. He is known for his impressionist style with soft colors that he uses to depict. He liked to paint Brittany, its ports and its seasides. Scenes of life and the Parisian boulevards.

At the beginning of his career, he painted in the same style as his uncle, Paul Lecomte (1842-1920). His early works are often wrongly attributed to him because their signatures can be confused. An excellent draftsman, he very quickly developed his own style.

Lecomte's father was a painter and taught him techniques from a young age.

Which allows him to earn a living and have time for painting.

Lecomte is a member of the Salon des Artistes Français and exhibits regularly at the Parisian salon throughout his career.

He exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1901 to 1912.
