Son of Jean Victor de Novion (1747-1825) and Anne Le Prestre de la Moustière (1768-?), Léon Charles de Novion, Count of Novion, was born on May 29, 1792 in Saint-Quentin.
Charles de Novion is mainly known for his military career. He was successively bodyguard to the King, aide-de-camp to Lieutenant General Thiebault, aide-de-camp to Marshal de Camp Chabert, officer of the Chasseurs à Cheval and aide-de-camp to Lieutenant General Comte de Rumigny.
Parallel to his military career, Charles de Novion also devoted himself to painting according to his availability. Wounded in the knee in 1812, he remained without affectation until the return of the Bourbons and undoubtedly took advantage of these two years to devote himself to painting. He did the same in 1816, where he may have frequented the studio of Baron Gros. In 1819, as aide camp to the governor of the Invalides, he painted La toilette d’un invalide, which he exhibited at the Salon. This painting earned him a medal of encouragement. He will again be present at the Salon in 1822 with two interior scenes and then in 1824 with five landscapes and an interior scene. According to the booklet of the Salon, he collaborated that year with the artists Eugène Lami and Duval le Camus who created the characters in his paintings. He also exhibited in 1825 at the Salons of Lille and Douai various landscapes.
Married in 1826 to Henriette Rousselot de Saint-Céran (1805-1875) with whom he had three sons, Charles de Novion was made a Knight of the Legion of Honor on February 1, 1815 and raised to the rank of officer on September 2, 1843.
He died on April 23, 1861 in Saint-Philbert-de-Grand-Lieu.

- Maurice Lobre (1862 -1951) The snackBy Maurice LobreLocated in BELEYMAS, FRMaurice LOBRE (Bordeaux 1862 - Paris 1951) Le goûter Huile sur toile H. 87 cm ; L. 91,5 cm Format peint d’origine, H. 101 cm ; L. 96 cm, disposé sur un châssis plus petit par l’artiste lui-même. Signée et datée 1888 en bas à droite Provenance : Collection privée, Lyon Exposition : 1889, Salon des Artistes Français, n°1719 « Intérieur », (ou 1720 nommé également « Intérieur ») Œuvres en rapport : Le Cabinet de toilette de Jacques-Emile Blanche, (titre erroné) H. 80 cm ; L. 85 cm, HST, Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid, pendant de notre toile. Maurice Lobre a-t-il connu Marcel Proust ? On ne peut encore l'affirmer, bien qu'il ait eu de nombreux amis en commun avec l'écrivain. Mais sa peinture intimiste pourrait illustrer certaines pages de Du côté de chez Swann. Trois citations dues à des proches de Proust, l'une de l'écrivain Léon Daudet, la seconde du peintre Jacques-Emile Blanche, la dernière du poète mondain Robert de Montesquiou, donnent un aperçu de ce que fut la renommée de Maurice Lobre en son temps : "Il en va autrement de Lobre, le Vermeer français, le peintre exquis des intérieurs et des palais de Versailles, des reflets sur les meubles rares, de la lumière prisonnière des miroirs, des laques et des cuivres polis. Lobre est joyeux comme un coup de vent, qui fait envoler les préjugés et les poncifs, éloquent, passionné, ivre de la couleur et des formes, charmant et conquérant de toutes les matières. Il se promène ici-bas ainsi que dans un musée en plein-air, s'amuse de tout, rejette et maudit le laid et le vil, accueille et bénit le beau et le bien…" Léon Daudet L'Entre-deux-guerres. Souvenirs des milieux littéraires, politiques, artistiques et médicaux de 1880 à 1905. "Voici le patient, appliqué, sage M. Lobre. Il est difficile de mettre plus d'honnêteté à peindre des intérieurs sans figures. Je préfère ses petits salons de Versailles à ses cathédrales… Nous lui devons des petits bijoux d'émotion et de large fini." Jacques-Emile Blanche "Il a recueilli sur des toiles le visage du vieux Versailles (…). Il a peuplé de visions impalpables des chambres " où il s'est passé quelque chose ", et il en a saturé l'atmosphère de particules historiques. Donner une telle impression avec certitude, avec vérité, c'est plus difficile que de faire évoluer des personnages costumés, dans ce qu'on appelle bêtement "une reconstitution historique"." Comte Robert de Montesquiou Maurice Lobre commence sa carrière au Salon de 1882 où il expose deux portraits, dont celui de son camarade de l'atelier Carolus-Duran, le peintre espagnol Ramon Casas...Category
