From LeightonFineArt.com: From 1908, Wely was active in Montfort-l'Amaury (Yvelines). He illustrated Breton Souls ( mes bretonnes) by Camille Mauclair. Jacques Wely (1873-1910) was a French painter known for his Impressionist and Post-Impressionist style. He was born in Paris and began his artistic studies at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, where he studied under the painter Fernand Cormon. Wely's early work was heavily influenced by Impressionism, with its focus on the play of light and color. He was particularly interested in painting landscapes, seascapes, and cityscapes, often featuring his hometown of Paris as the subject. In the early 1900s, Wely began to experiment with a more Post-Impressionist style, incorporating more abstract forms and brighter colors into his paintings. His work was well-received by critics and collectors alike, and he exhibited his paintings at several prominent galleries and salons in Paris. Unfortunately, Wely's career was cut short when he died suddenly in 1910 at the age of just 37. Despite his brief career, he left behind a rich legacy of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings that continue to be admired today.
