Born in Limoges in 1816 – died in Paris in 1879.
Genre painter, animated landscapes, landscapes.
Five years younger than his brother Jules DUPRE, Léon Victor DUPRE is his student.
Like him, he places his easel on the banks of rivers, under the stormy skies of Berry, Limousin, Isle-Adam or Normandy and frequents Barbizon.
In his paintings, Léon Victor DUPRE shows a pleasant freedom of touch and an organized composition that in no way enslaves his pantheistic sense.
He exhibited regularly at the Salon and won a medal in 1849.
Museums: Brest, Douai, Paris (Musée d’Orsay)
