Jean Peské (1870–1949) was a French painter and printmaker who settled in France in 1891. In Paris, he worked on decorative projects and illustrations, experimented with pointillism and associated with the Nabis. He exhibited with Sérusier, Bonnard and Vuillard at Le Barc de Boutteville. From 1905, Bois-le-Roi provided subjects in the trees of the Fontainebleau forest and in family life. His landscapes also reflect stays in the Vendée, Brittany, Bormes-les-Mimosas and Collioure. He exhibited regularly at the Salon des indépendants and the Salon d’automne. In Collioure, he founded the institution now known as the Musée d’Art Moderne. His Journal records his life and encounters with other artists.
