Cabié Louis

Louis Cabié (Dol-de-Bretagne, Ille-et-Vilaine 1854 – 1939 Bordeaux, Gironde) was a French artist. He was a painter and watercolorist. He also painted on ceramics, which were exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français from 1887 onwards. Influenced by Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot and Théodore Rousseau, Louis-Alexandre Cabié painted numerous works depicting landscapes from the regions he loved.

From 1892 onwards, almost a third of his work was executed on the banks of the Vézère River, always near the historic site of Les Eyzies. He also worked for the Vieillard factory in Bordeaux and painted his landscapes on vases. Three of these are now in the collection of the Museum of Decorative Arts and Design in Bordeaux. In 1887, he submitted works to the Salon des Artistes Français, where he exhibited and won medals throughout his career. In 1908, he was appointed Knight of the Order of the Legion of Honor, sponsored by his mentor and friend, Harpignies. He died in poverty in Bordeaux in 1939 and was buried in Chartreuse Cemetery in a vault shared with more than 150 artists. (Wikipedia)
