Joseph Latour
Joseph, Pierre, Tancrède Latour was a French Romantic drawer and painter. His works are hosted by several museums in southern France.
From the École [des Beaux-Arts] of Toulouse, he taught drawing at the Institution des Feuillants and his artist studio was frequented by Charles de Saint Félix, Eugène Fil, Jules de Lahondés, Maxime Lalanne, Louise de Carayon-Talpayrac, Eugène de Malbos and Jacques Raymond Brascassat.
He is more recognized for his drawings and his landscapes from nature – mostly of Pyrenees – than for his paintings.
