Albert Roger Édouard Chapelet (25 September 1903 – 30 June 1995) was a French maritime painter,[1] from Versailles.
Originally from the Périgord province, he discovered his maritime passion boarding the Rollo in 1927, where his brother was a radio operator in the port of Marseilles.
He would then make a series of paintings in various ports: Le Havre, Antwerp, and Rotterdam.
During World War II, Chapelet served on the transatlantic convoys between 1939 and 1940.
Along with Marin-Marie and Albert Brenet, Chapelet is considered one of the three great 20th century painters of the French Navy.
