Pierre Montézin's father, a lace designer, found him a job with a design company, where he soon devoted himself to murals. Strongly influenced by the theories of Impressionism, he later embarked on a career as an artist in his own right. In about 1903 he came into contact with Quost who made him work on his drawing and gave him a taste for painting. He enlisted in 1914 for the duration of the war, and took up painting again on his return. He lived in Dreux and Moret for a year, and spent his holidays there from then on. Montézin was made a Chevalier of the Légion d'Honneur in 1923 and in 1940 was elected a member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts, taking the place left vacant by Edouard Vuillard's death.
Montézin submitted a work to the Salon des Artistes Français for the first time in 1893, but it was rejected, as were all his subsequent attempts for ten years. It was not until 1903 that he was accepted, winning a third-class medal in 1907 and a second-class medal in 1910. He also exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français after World War I and was awarded the Rosa Bonheur prize in 1920. He was made a member of the society and honoured as hors concours, as well as being made a member of the committee and of the jury of the Salon des Artistes Français after having received their medal of honour.
Montézin's painting was well-received, his technique - a distant descendant of Impressionism - captivating many by its virtuosity.

Pierre Eugène Montezin
French artist Pierre Eugene Montézin, originally trained in decorative arts and mural painting under his father’s guidance. From the age of 18 he worked in a decorative atelier, painting floral panels and ornamental motifs. His exposure to the Impressionist movement inspired a pivot towards plein-air landscape paintings, setting him on the path to becoming a true Impressionist. Montézin passionately pursued Salon recognition for a decade; in 1903, he finally debuted at the Salon des Artistes Français after repeated rejections. Under the mentorship of Ernest Quost, he honed his drawing and painting technique, embracing a painterly style marked by spontaneous strokes and radiant light. Montézin enlisted during WWI and received the Médaille Militair for his service, spending significant time after the war in Dreuz and Moret-sur-Loing, painting landscapes in the tradition of Alfred Sisley with the influence of Claude Monet remaining present. Montézin remained a steadfast Impressionist, resisting contemporary movements like Cubism or Surrealism, and stayed devoted to natural, atmospheric subjects seen through ‘the heart’ as he reportedly told critic Louis Vauxcelles. He suddenly died in 1946 whilst painting Britany. Montézin’s work embodies a lifetime of devotion to light, landscape, and the authentic roots of Impressionism.
