Octave LINET (25 September 1870 - 9 November 1962) was a French painter.
Octave Linet exhibited at the Salon de la Nationale des Beaux-Arts for the first time in 1888. Founding member of the Salon d'automne, he participates in the Salon des indépendants.
Octave LINET attended the School of Crozant in 1905. The Salon of 1906 exhibits five Creusian landscapes, including four views of the ruins.
He travels mainly in France and Spain.
We owe him landscapes of Brittany, Touraine, Creuse, Normandy or the Côte D'Azur. In Paris, he painted in particular the banks of the Seine, views of roofs and works related to theaters, some of which are preserved in the Carnavalet Museum. In the Oise valley, he stayed in Éragny where he met his friend Léon Giran-Max and multiplied the river banks from the loop of Neuville-sur-Oise to Saint-Leu-d'Esserent, the street scenes, villages and parties. He also created still lifes in which he sometimes staged objects from his personal collection of medieval and religious art.
A great collector, he bequeathed to the Museum of Tours a part of his collection comprising thirty-seven primitives and 12 high-period sculptures. A fine connoisseur and great scholar, he was the collaborator of the great collector Joseph Spiridon and the intimate of Suzanne Valadon and Utrillo, Max Jacob and Dufy.
The Pontoise and Carnavalet museums preserve several of his works.
