Artists in Provence is a site dedicated to the promotion of Provence as a centre for art. For centuries Provence has attracted artists, writers, poets and photographers. They have been inspired by the light, the picturesque landscape, and the Provençal way of life. Thanks to Cezanne, Van Gogh, Matisse and Picasso, Provence has earned a prominent position in the history of modern art. Ford Madox Ford called Provence, ’a paradise on earth’.

Today it is still as true as it ever was, painters still find the light and the tranquillity inspiring. On this site you can view some of the work of just a few of the many hundreds of painters that live and work in Provence. You can also see how you yourself can take advantage of our planned painting tours. These tours, under the guidance of professional artists, give you the opportunity to discover Provence and paint in the footsteps of the great artists.
