We make an appointment with you this week to discover the work of the painter and illustrator Michel Jouenne

The Jouenne Museum in Saint Rémy de Provence

The small town of Saint Rémy de Provence is located in the heart of the Alpilles Natural Park.

Saint Rémy de Provence has always been a refuge for famous artists and a great source of inspiration (landscapes, colors, exceptional buildings...)

This city knew how to preserve its historical monuments and promote its artists

Today, Saint Rémy has an important artistic and cultural heritage.

Many art galleries embellish the streets of the city. A festival dedicated to Art takes place several times per year, THE ROAD OF THE ARTISTS in Saint Remy de Provence

Many reasons convinced Michel Jouenne to settle there...

The main reason is the former Trinitaire convent.

This religious order was at its zenith in the 12th century. It is located on the main street.

Michel Jouenne fell in love with this place rich in history and decided to gather his impressive collection of landscapes.

Michel Jouenne and Provence landscapes

The artist Michel Jouenne was born in 1933.

He made his first gouaches in 1947. Since then, he exercises' his talent to the highest level of his art. Painting, sculpture, he finds his inspiration in the landscapes of Provence.

The museum pays tribute to his work which received many prizes.

The landscape painter who loves the Alpilles, paint living work with sparkling colors.

His goal is to make people discover the beauty of the landscapes “that people see but do not take the time to look at”

His paintings, mostly aquarelles or oils, represent the great diversity of the landscapes of Provence.

Trees and nature are very often at the center of his work.

Named Navy’s official painter in 1991, Michel Jouenne is also fascinated by the sea, boats and marine fauna.

If most of his paintings are country landscapes, he has also painted many marine landscapes.

Landscapes of the du Alpilles natural regional park to those of the Camargue natural regional park, the works full of color and life of Michel Jouenne will make you travel from one end to the other of Provence, to see the exceptional fauna and flora of this beautiful area.
