Gustave Madelain (1867-1944)
Landscape painter, Gustave Madelain was born in the Aisne in 1867 It was from 1907,
when he exhibited for the first time at the Salon des Indépendants, that his reputation as a post-impressionist painter began to establish itself. He seems to have followed the course of the Seine to feed his imagination, as his main works show views of Paris, Rouen or Le Havre.
He excels in painting the life of the streets and markets, and in his views of the bridges and banks of the Seine.
