Emmanuel Lansyer was born in the Vendee, in Bouin before moving to the town of Machecoul a few kilometres away. His father, a doctor, dedicated him to a career as a notary, but Emmanuel was not as passionate about his studies as he was about drawing. A craze that manifested itself from his earliest childhood. Indeed, Emmanuel Lansyer sketches the ruins of the castle of Machecoul, and the holidays spent in Pornic, La Bernerie or Prefailles will leave him with this taste for coastal landscapes... His drawing teacher at St Joseph's College was promising and encouraged him to paint. His father, resigned, entrusted Emmanuel, then 20 years old, to his architect cousin. Then from Ch‰teauroux, Emmanuel left for Paris in 1857 to study with Eugne Viollet-le-Duc. The workshop closed, the master unavailable to his students devoted himself to the many projects. Emmanuel remained in Paris and although Viollet-le-Duc offered him a job as an architect in the department, he chose the brushes, not giving up his career as a painter. In 1861, he briefly joined Gustave Courbet's classes. The year 1863 marked the beginning of his career, when his submissions to the Salon des Refuses aroused interest. He quickly oriented his painting towards landscape, and "A September Morning in Douarnenez" and "The Banks of the Ellee at Faout" earned him his first medals at the Salon of 1865. Brittany inspires him. He likes to stay there. There, he became friends with the poet Jose Maria de Heredia. He also met Sully Prudhomme, another poet, Hyppolite Moulin, a sculptor, Jules Hereau, an architect and then a painter (like Lansyer). Between his Breton journeys, Emmanuel Lansyer lived in Loches and had a pied-ˆ-terre in La https:--urldefense.proofpoint.com-v2-url?u=http-3A__capitale.Il&d=DwIFaQ&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=CRq-PfZUmXdU_LJTMtvgvq8Vnk2VJVxATlZP6CXg_RA&m=3g-VuPI6WRf2TUxQiLlNcwixUDN5c8XhDd0rTYcRWuHU2g6eEsccf875k8u_jZPd&s=-9I-FsJyir_q5m0bqUz1c47C2RlB5uwFpDZ4yp1vaC0&e= won another medal in 1869 for the "Ch‰teau de Pierrefonds", a painting commissioned by Viollet-le-Duc. In 1877, he freed himself from the intermediaries of the art market to sell his works himself at a major sale: a success repeated three more times. Recognized, he responded to state commissions and presided over the Salon des Artistes Francais as a member of the Jury from 1881. It was around the 1880s that Emmanuel Lansyer produced views of Parthenay. He maintained a friendly relationship with the faencier and painter Henri Amirault, to whom he offered, in 1883, a "view of the Saint Jacques Tower and the old Parthenay bridge". The same year, he exhibited in Rochefort "Tower and ruined walls of the Citadel of Parthenay". Emmanuel Lansyer died in Paris in 1893, bequeathing to the city of Loches his house, his works, his collections of engravings, objects and Japanese prints.
