Life
De Palézieux, offspring of a respected noble family , son of Jean Eugène de Palézieux (1816–1893) and his wife Emilie, née de Montet (1823–1905), a great-grandson of the British naval officer and writer Edmund Affleck (1725–1788 ) through their paternal grandmother ), grew up with his two brothers in Vevey. He learned to sail as a boy . Due to a ban from his parents' home, he was unable to realize his childhood dream of joining the Navy. So he switched to painting seascapes, which gave him the opportunity to travel and explore the world of sailing. From 1868 to 1870 he studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy , where Andreas Müller was his teacher. At the Geneva Art School (École des Beaux-Arts) he became a student of Barthélemy Menn and familiarized himself with open-air painting. Then he went to Paris to study with Jean-Paul Laurens . There he also met the painter Fernand Cormon .
Returning to his native Lake Geneva , whose landscapes he often painted, on September 27, 1877 he married Eliza "Lily" Olmsted (* 1857), a granddaughter of the US astronomer Denison Olmsted , who gave birth to her daughter Renée on August 8, 1878. With his family he made trips to Brittany , Normandy and southern France . In the 1880s he stayed frequently in Paris, where he exhibited his pictures in the Salon des artistes français . After separating from his wife, he settled in Équihen-Plage, a town on the English Channel , in 1903 . In 1907 he married Marie Alfrédine Lair (1873–1967). In 1910 he was made a Knight of the Legion of Honor . To avoid the conflicts of the First World War , the couple first moved to the vicinity of the Lac d'Annecy , then to other places in southern France ( Collioure , Antibes , Saint-Jean-de-Luz ). In 1919 de Palézieux returned to Équihen-Plage, where he died in 1924 at the age of 73.
De Palézieux's marine painting is characterized by dramatic scenes that present sailing and shipping as a struggle against violence.
