Louis Valtat: Artist biography
Louis Valtat was born in Dieppe, in the Normandy region of France on August 8th, 1869 into a wealthy family of ship owners. He spent much of his childhood in Versailles, a suburb of Paris, where he attended secondary school at the Lycée Hoche. Encouraged by his father, an amateur landscape painter himself, Valtat became interested in art, and at the age of seventeen decided to pursue an artistic career. In 1887, he moved to Paris, where he enrolled at the École des Beaux-Arts (School of Fine Arts), and studied with the well known academic artists Gustave Boulanger (1824-1888), Jules Lefebvre (1836-1911), and later with Benjamin Constant (1845-1902).
