Loinel Peraux:
he was born in Nantes, November 24, 1871
He was a pupil of the painter Jules Elie Delaunay (1828-1891) artist who devoted in part to history painting ( The Plague in Rome - The Oath of Brutus ) but also Gustave Moreau ( 1826-1898 ) .
Found that sensitivity to the story in some works of Lionel Peraux although he also painted many scenes of children playing with animals : dogs , cats, ...
His drawings also appear on old postcards: historical figures XVII & XVIII century or scenes of peasant life.
He exhibited in Paris , London and New York.
It is classified as a genre painter , portraits , watercolor and pastel especially but also an illustrator .
