Jean Peské is a post-impressionist artist, whose works are exhibited at HELENE BAILLY gallery.
Jean Peské (1870-1949), whose real name was Ivan Stepanovitch Peské, was a Russian-born, naturalized French painter, draughtsman and engraver. Born in Bogorodsk, he moved to Paris in 1891 and studied at the Académie Julian. Influenced by Impressionism and the Nabis, he developed a style marked by a luminous palette and a great sensitivity to nature.

His landscapes and seascapes, inspired by his travels in France, capture moments of light and atmosphere, oscillating between Impressionism and modernism. He settled in Collioure in 1924, where he founded a museum in 1934 to preserve local art. Peské is an important figure of Post-Impressionism, celebrated for his peaceful, vibrant compositions that reflect a profound harmony with nature.
