Jan Mirosław Peszke, known as Jean Peské (1870-1949) was a French painter and graphic artist of mixed Russian/Polish ancestry.
His many artistic connections included Paul Signac, who introduced him to pointillism, Camille Pissarro, Pierre Bonnard and Édouard Vuillard.
After 1900, he found his stylistic home among the Post-impressionists and began painting en plein aire; notably in the area around Barbizon, where he made the acquaintance of Constantin Kousnetzoff.
He presented some of his paintings to Georges Clemenceau, who was a great admirer, and the Chalcographie du Louvre [fr] bought some of his engravings.
He painted numerous landscapes in Vendée, Brittany, Bormes-les-Mimosas and Collioure, where he established a small art museum,[3] now known as the Musée d'Art Moderne.
