JEAN-BAPTISTE OLIVE
Jean-Baptiste Olive is a French painter born in 1848 in Marseille. This prodigious student of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Marseille, brilliantly passed his studies, and even received a prize in 1871. He continued his career as a decorator in Marseille for some time. He then became a pupil of the painter Antoine Vollon, with whom he perfected his technique, particularly in the elaboration of still lifes. He later decided to travel, notably to Italy, which allowed him to discover new landscapes and to change his relationship with light. The influence of the artist, and friend, Etienne Cornellier, led him to Paris where he settled in 1882. Olive then worked on large-scale projects: decoration of the Cirque d'Hiver, pavilions for the 1889 Universal Exhibition, and also for the famous restaurant Le Train Bleu in the Gare de Lyon. The painter does not seem to belong nor to be involved in any particular artistic movement, treating his paintings with his own style. His originality, compared to other artists of the capital city, is in the subjects he depicts in his paintings. Even in Paris, the landscapes of the South of France continue to inspire him and Olive always represents them relentlessly. The painter is successful. He exhibits at the Paris Salon and receives a few prizes. Olive dies in 1936 at the age of 87 in Paris.
Throughout his career, the artist remains attached to his origins. He draws his inspiration from the maritime and coastal scenes of the Mediterranean. The sea, its agitations, its dry and rocky shores, the islands and their flora, ... everything is anchore
