£795.00

A wonderful example of his work. Corbiere studied under Choultes at the Academy of Fine Arts. In the following years, he travelled and painted on the coasts of France, Italy and Spain and his special liking for the sea made him stay at the Riviera for some months each year. Corbiere gained a following for his coastal scenes and soon developed his unique style while his audience became international and made him a truly successful artist.
