Aristide Maillol was born in 1861 in the city named Banyuls-sur-Mer .


He left the city where he was born at the age of 21 years to settle down in Paris.


Gifted with the pencil drawing, he starts by painting before being interested in the arts and crafts.

But people show gratitude for him lately, towards the age of 40 years, only because of his talent as a sculptor.


This admirer of the body of the woman is renowned for his nudes, with generous curves figures, with a perfect balance and a great sharpness.


This man returns very regularly to his native region to work in his mas situated in the Valley of Roume where he will spend the last years of his life before dying in 1944.


Nowadays, the mas has been transformed into a Museum where one discovers the beautiful works of art of this Master of the sculpture.
