Louis Étienne Timmermans was born in 1846 in Brussels to French parents and died in 1910 in Paris. He was a landscape and marine painter who was also a watercolorist. He studied at the Brussels Academy and the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he later became a professor. He regularly exhibited Breton, Norman, and Dutch seascapes at the Salons des Artistes Français in Paris, where he received an honorable mention in 1904. He created lively landscapes, with a few figures and boats animating his compositions. The ports of the English Channel and the Breton coast, which he visited, caught his attention. While studying various paintings and port views, it seemed to us that our watercolor was very close to the port of Landerneau.
The Louviers Museum and the Landerneau town hall hold one of his works. Frame size 61 cm x 75 cm, view 33 cm x 48 cm.
