Georges A. L. Boisselier

[1] He displayed his artistic talents at an early age and entered the École des beaux-arts de Paris when he was only fourteen.

He then studied with William Bouguereau at the Académie Julian from 1892 to 1895, when he submitted his first entry to the Prix de Rome.

Although he began as a painter of historical scenes, he soon became a favored portraitist among the members of high society.

In 1925, he built an adjoining villa with a studio, designed to imitate the local fishermen's houses.

He was also interested in archaeology and helped to create the Musée de la Préhistoire finistérienne [fr] and served as its Curator from 1932 to 1939.
