Yan' Dargent
A unique painter worth rediscovering.
A self-taught painter, Yan’ Dargent enjoyed considerable fame during his lifetime. His famous *Lavandières de la Nuit* caught the attention of Théophile Gautier. A prolific and sought-after illustrator, he contributed to some two hundred works. Meanwhile, his religious paintings earned him numerous commissions. A unique painter, deeply attached to his native Brittany, Yan’ Dargent deserves to be fully recognized today.
