Beautiful oil on isorel depicting a soldier in the French army of 1870. This painting was created by the great mountain painter Marcel Wibault
(July 13, 1904, Besançon - February 28, 1998, Chamonix). Circa 1930
He is best known for his mountain paintings, particularly those depicting Mont Blanc, Chamonix, the Alps, chalets and alpine flowers. He began his artistic career sketching soldiers of the 60th infantry regiment in Besançon, before becoming a student at the Beaux-Arts.
In the 1930s, he moved to Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, where he explored and painted the landscapes of Savoie and Haute-Savoie, often in a single sitting. Encouraged by his wife, he devoted himself to mountain painting and received numerous commissions from art lovers, living in part from his art. He was also a mentor to his son, Lionel Wibault, himself a painter.
Marcel Wibault's work bears witness to the construction of the Mont Blanc Tunnel in the 1960s, adding a historical dimension to his artistic output. His studio and chalet in Chamonix, l'Alpenrose, now house a museum dedicated to his work, where the public can discover his paintings and his world.
His style, marked by precision and a passion for the mountains, won him a prestigious clientele, including Prince Rainier of Monaco and notables from the Dutch court. He is renowned for his ability to capture the light, shadow and detail of Alpine landscapes, and for his warm, approachable approach to his visitors and customers.
