ean Eugène Julien Massé (1856-1950) Post-Impressionist landscape painter born in Meaux (Seine et Marne) in 1856, died and 1950. In 1879, after spending three years in a battalion of foot hunters in Algeria, Jean Massé studied Fine Arts in Amiens and then in Paris in Boulanger's studio. Around 1882 Jean Massé moved to Luzancy and became a pupil of the painter Alexandre Bouché. Inspired by the Briarde countryside, the banks of the Marne, or Brittany, the subtle nuanced touch of colored grays make the foliage and the light of his compositions shudder in the manner of the masters of 19th century landscape.
