Léon Germain Pelouse was a French Impressionism painter. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art. Léon Germain Pelouse was born in Pierrelaye.
Léon Germain Pelouse (1 October 1838 – 31 July 1891) was a largely self-taught painter born in Pierrelaye, France. His work was most often said to descend from that of Corot and Daubigny, but was from the beginning unique in its depiction of an often stark, obsessively detailed nature largely devoid of human figures. At the time of his death at age 52 in Paris, Pelouse was "considered one of the great landscape painters of his time."
