Antoine Bouvard Senior
was born at St. Jean-de-Bournay in L'Isere in 1870. He
trained as an architect and studied art and architecture
under Constant-Dufeus, at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in
Paris. He became the Director of Architectural Services
for the Seine, and was responsible for the construction
of the Bourse du Travail and the Boulevard Morland in
Paris.
His
paintings show the influence of Felix Ziem, reflecting
his love of Venice in the delicacy and fluidity of his
use of colour, capturing in his paintings, the warmth
and beauty that he found there.
Bouvard
is known to have painted both under his own name and the
pseudonym, Marc Aldine.
