Lot Essay

Born in Nantes in 1871, Edgard Maxence became a pupil of Gustave Moreau at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He is best known for Symbolist subjects painted in soft palettes, which evoke serene calm. He exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon and the Salon de la Rose-Croix. Maxence won a gold medal in 1900 at the Exposition Universelle and was appointed Officier de la Légion d'Honneur in 1924.
