Biography
Albert Marquet (1875–1947) captured the calming rhythms of rivers and ports with a palette softened by travel, translating Fauvist color into measured harmonies that celebrated light and stillness.
He rests in the Cemetery of La Frette-sur-Seine, where visitors remember a painter whose quiet compositions continue to invite contemplation of the Seine's gentle flow.
