NOTICE
Marie-Joseph Léon Clavel, better known under the pseudonym IWILL (1850-1923), was a French landscape painter whose work was a continuation of naturalist landscape painting and late Impressionism. Trained by Emmanuel Lansyer and Charles Euphrasie Kuwasseg, he made a name for himself in 1875 at the Salon des Artistes Français, then as a founding member of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts. Awarded the Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur in 1894, he traveled extensively: Normandy, Brittany, Holland, Italy (notably Rome and Venice), capturing the atmosphere, changing light, misty skies and melancholy effects of nature. His work can be compared to that of Camille Corot, Eugène Boudin and Théodore Rousseau for their sense of landscape.
