Artist Biography

Émile Tremblay (1855–1935) was a French painter active in Normandy, Northern France, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He worked predominantly in oils, and signed his pictures with a monogram. Little is known about the life of this intriguing French painter, except that he was a friend of the famous Swedish artist, art critic, and museum curator Richard Bergh (1858-1919). His surviving output includes coastal landscapes, portraits, still life and nude studies. His portraits capture the character of the sitter well, and his handling of light has a skilled impressionist sensibility, showing the rapidly developing artistic tradition around the turn of the century.
