Painting by Jacques Ourtal of Saint- Jean- de- Luz

This is one of my favorite paintings. I used my mother's inheritance to me to purchase this small painting because I loved it. I had entered this on this site previously but I wanted to show the results once it had been cleaned and conserved.

Apart from Carcassonne, in the street that bears his name, he lived in Fontiers-Cabardès where he owned a workshop (the street bears his name as well).

Some of his works can be seen at the Museum of Fine Arts in Carcassonne or in the salons of the Hotel de la Cité.
