Dieppe Area

Dieppe – The Artists – Overview and Map

Artists (painters, photographers, etc) from all over the world have come, and are still coming, to Normandy to paint. The fantastic light, a plethora of subjects and the ease of getting there made it a hotspot for all sorts of artists.

Dieppe was (and still is) a popular place to visit, particularly with the British, since there was (is) a direct ferry link to the city from the UK.

The cities of Caen, Le Havre, Deauville and Trouville, also saw a large share of these artists.

Below is a map with the places where these artists created their works of art. I’ve only listed one place per city they painted in, and this map is limited to Dieppe and its surroundings since there were many artists to catalog.

NOTE: Click on an “art” icon on the map below to see a painting of the artist, their name and then click on the artist’s name at the bottom of the painting to see all his paintings of that area (in a new window).

NOTE: You can zoom in and out of the map! BUT remember, that one icon may hide another one if you are zoomed out too much.

Dieppe in Normandy was a popular place for artists to come and apply their art. Here is a list, non exhaustive, of the artists that painted in Dieppe.

A link (“⇠”) to the artist’s works will appear when published (a “*” indicates that the artist did not work directly in Dieppe, instead worked in nearby villages):
