Collection: Edouard Honoré de Gandon
Édouard Honoré Gandon (1886–1962) was a Luso-French painter active mainly in Portugal during the first half of the 20th century.
His work is characterised by an impressionist approach, focusing on portraits, still lifes, and landscapes, often using oil on canvas or wood.
Gandon remained faithful to his style, distancing himself from the avant-garde movements of the 20th century. His painting reveals a sensitive observation of nature and the human figure, with compositions that evoke serenity and introspection.
Although not widely known, some of Gandon's paintings have been auctioned in Portugal.
Themes in Gandon’s work include mythological scenes, such as the myth of Leda and the Swan, as well as depictions of Parisian gardens, like the Luxembourg Gardens. His artwork reflects an Impressionist aesthetic, with an emphasis on light and the atmosphere of the scenes he portrays.
