Gaston Bruelle (1849 – 1884) was a French painter of mostly marine paintings.

Bruelle was a student of Jules Noel and exhibited in the “salon de la Societe des Artistes Francais” from 1869 to 1881.

He also contributed to the weekly paper “Le Yacht” (the yacht) in 1993 with eight paintings illustrating the regatas in Argenteuil (Paris area), and Normandy based Rouen, Le Havre and Trouville-sur-Mer.

However, very little is known about this painter.

Honfleur was (and is) a very picturesque town, so it saw many artists capturing the beauty of this very scenic town. The reason it has so many tourists is obvious…. it’s very pretty. Here are some of the artists that have come to apply their art in the town (a link, symbolized by a “⇠“, to the artist’s works will appear when published. A “*” indicates that the artist did not work directly in Honfleur but instead worked outside of Honfleur in a nearby town).
