French, 1841–1928
Plein-air landscapist, Sauzay composes his subjects with quick and colored brushstrokes suggesting all the freshness of his motifs. He appreciated the quaintness of little villages, the tranquility of riverbanks, little bridges on winding rivers in Normandy or Brittany, which he portrayed with sincerity. Sauzay was a student of Audre and Pasini. For his debut at the Paris Salon in 1863 he sent "The Pond at Bobigny, morning light", and exhibited regularly obtaining medals in 1881, 1883, and at the Exposition Universelles of 1889 and 1900.
