Maxime Emile Louis Maufra (French, 1861-1918) Oil on Canvas, Country Landscape with Stone Bridge. Signed Maufra in red lower right.
Born in 1861 in Nantes, Maxime-Emile-Louis Maufra is known for his paintings of the sea and coasts from Nantes and of Normandy. He created many riverscapes in the Impressionist manner of Claude Monet. Maufra went to school in Nantes where he also took drawing classes. Local painters Charles Lebourg and Charles Le Roux were his first art mentors. At the age of twenty, he studied the work of the English landscape painters such as Turner and Constable who left an impression on him. In 1886, Maufra participated in the Salon where he showed two paintings. Later he became more closely associated with the Salon des Indépendants. During the following decade, Maufra moved to Brittany where in Pont-Aven, he met Gauguin. Maufra has been considered a member of the Pont-Aven School, along with Émile Bernard, Gustave Loiseau and Henry Moret. Maufra participated in a number of exhibitions, the first of which was a monographic show of his work at Le Barc de Bouteville, and later at the Durand-Ruel Gallery. He also visited the region of Dauphiné and the surroundings of Le Havre, Douarnenez and Locronan. Maufra died on 23 May 1918 in Poncé.
