Charles-Louis Mozin was born into a family of musicians, he studied with Xavier Leprince. Primarily a painter and lithographer of coastal landscapes, harbour views and seascapes, he exhibited at the Salons in Paris between 1824 and 1861.

Along with Eugene Isabey and Richard Parkes Bonington, Mozin was one of the first artists to paint landscapes depicting the beach and fishing port of Trouville in Normandy, which he discovered around 1825, and where he settled in 1839.

He also travelled in Germany and The Netherlands, where he frequently exhibited his work between 1840 and 1850.

Landscape paintings by Mozin are today in the museums of Amiens, Honfleur, Rouen, Toulon, Trouville-sur-Mer, Versailles, and elsewhere, while a number of views of Paris are in the Musee Carnavalet in Paris.

Mozin painted several other places in France, which will be featured eventually on this site. A link “⇠” to those cities will appear below when published.

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).
