Paul Madeline
Paul Madeline (1863–1920) was a French painter known for his Post-Impressionist landscapes that depicted the rural beauty of the French countryside. Born in Paris, Madeline trained as an illustrator before fully committing to painting. He was particularly drawn to the landscapes of Brittany and Auvergne, where he captured the region's natural beauty with soft, vibrant colors and expressive brushwork. His works often reflect a calm and idyllic view of rural life, rendered in a style that blends Post-Impressionist influences with elements of naturalism.
Madeline exhibited regularly at the Salon des Indépendants and the Salon d’Automne in Paris and became a member of the Salon’s jury. His works are celebrated for their harmonious color palettes and serene compositions. Today, his paintings are held in several French museums and private collections.
