Trouville-sur-Mer – The Artists – Mozin, Charles Louis

This page forms part of a series of pages dedicated to the many artists who worked in Trouville-sur-Mer. A full list of all the artists with a link to their works can be found at the bottom of this page.

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.
