The painter Veloso Salgado is one of the major representatives of Portuguese naturalism, distinguished several times on the international artistic scene. In 1887, a young graduate of the School of the Academy of Fine Arts in Lisbon, Veloso Salgado was awarded a State grant allowing him to join the effervescence of Parisian workshops. The four years of his French stay are punctuated by his participation in the Salon where he obtains several distinctions. At the same time as teaching at the Ecole des Beaux-arts, he drew his inspiration from the heart of Brittany but also from Wissant on the shores of Pas-de-Calais.
