Leon Hamonet was a French Impressionist painter who specialized in beautiful pastel hued landscapes. At the age of 15, his family moved to the Bordeaux region where he began to take drawing lessons, and at the age of 18, attended the local school of art. In 1903, he took a job in Port de Bouc at Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, and didn’t return to the Breton area until 1910.
Once back in Brittany, Hamonet began his family and had two children, Henri and Susanne, with his wife, Anna L’hévéder. He would later have to travel with his son Henri to Pau due to respiratory problems. In his hometown, however, Hamonet would focus on painting the mountains, his gardens and the sea, and passed the time riding his bicycle, which inspired his work even more.
Art critics have said that his works in all mediums show a true beauty in the countryside found in few other artists of his time. Hamonet used a number of mediums from oil and watercolor to gouache, and executed his paintings with equal beauty no matter what materials he used. His critics have also called him an excellent portraitist, and his sketches and depictions of families and babies, as well as his representation of women were particularly praised.
Hamonet also created many sketches of boats, landscapes and other interesting subjects.
Today, Hamonet’s work is housed all over the world, and perhaps in your own home. He created an enormous oeuvre during his lifetime, so the possibility of someone owning one of his works is quite great. Still wondering about a French Impressionist landscape in your family estate?
