Piette, Ludovic
Piette, Ludovic
(1826-77).
A landscape-painter, who was a pupil of
Couture
before attending
the Académie Suisse, where he became friendly with
Pissarro
and started to follow the tendancies of
Impressionism.
He participated in the third and fourth Impressionist exhibitions
during a period when his works were almost indistinguishable
from those of Pissarro, who often stayed with him in his house
of Montfoucault in Brittany, and where Pissarro painted a number
of landscapes.
Around 1870 Piette painted a picture in gouache of Pissarro
at work, which later belonged to Camille, the painter's son;
now lost, it is known only through a photograph.
