Georges Maury (23 April 1875 – 20 September 1962) was a French painter, mostly influenced by the impressionist and orientalist movements. His paintings mostly represent landscapes and scenes in France and Morocco, where he lived during the World War 1.[1]
At 24, he painted the interior of the Saint-Julien-de-Brioude's church, now called the Sistine Chapel of Tarn-et-Garonne.[2][3]
Biography[edit]
Georges Maury was born on April 23, 1875 in Goudourville in a family of farmers. Attracted very early by painting, he was for three years the pupil of Louis Cazottes, then worked in Paris in Jean-Louis Godon's workshop.
He subsequently obtained a scholarship and went to the École nationale des arts décoratifs. At the end of this training, he worked at the Collège of Pézenas. In 1909 he married Jeanne Chantot, also from Goudourville, before being appointed to the Lycée of Albi the following year, where he remained until 1920. In 1914, he was mobilized in Morocco in the occupation troops as a postman cyclist.
After his remarriage in 1931 with Henriette Matete, he lived in Haute-Garonne. He retired in 1937 and went to Moissac in the early 1950s.[4]
Maury died on September 20, 1962 in Moissac, and is buried in the cemetery of La Dérocade.
