Biography: Antoine Bouvard, also known as Marc Aldine, was born in the picturesque town of Saint-Jean-de-Bournay in L’Isere in 1870. Initially trained as an architect, he delved into the realms of art and architecture under the guidance of Constance-Dufeus at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. His talents eventually elevated him to the esteemed position of Director of Architectural Services for the Seine, where he played a pivotal role in constructing notable landmarks like the Bourse du Travail and the iconic Boulevard Morland in Paris.
However, it was during his frequent painting expeditions to Venice that Bouvard's artistic journey underwent a transformative turn. In the captivating city of Venice, he encountered the renowned Venetian artist Felix Ziem, a meeting that profoundly influenced his artistic vision. The delicate and fluid use of color in Bouvard’s work bears the unmistakable mark of Venice’s enchantment. As a true master, he succeeded in capturing the warmth and splendor that characterized this northern Italian gem.

His paintings stand as a testament to his delicate yet confident brushwork, masterfully capturing the charm of one of the world’s most romantic cities.
