The Murol School of Painters

 

The Murol school, Post-Impressionism in Sancy 

The Murol School of Painters, a spontaneous gathering of painters aiming to highlight the magnificent colors of the Sancy Massif, is an inspiring artistic movement that marked its era. Founded by three talented artists, Léon Boudal, Victor Charreton and Wladimir de Terlikowski, this school played a crucial role in promoting post-impressionist art in the heart of the Sancy region.

Their works are distinguished by a bold use of colours and innovative painting techniques, inspired by the great masters of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism.
