Claude-Sébastien Hugard de Latour
Born in 1816.
Died in 1886.
Claude-Sébastien Hugard de Latour is recognised as a landscape painter. His work focuses primarily on high-mountain landscapes, attesting to a particular sensitivity to the Alpine peaks. He had the good fortune to train under the guidance of Alexandre Calame and François Diday in Geneva, two prominent figures in the landscape painting of their time.
The influence of these masters can doubtless be found in his artistic approach, although specific details of his career and achievements remain partly obscure.
