Joseph, Pierre, Tancrède Latour (April 17, 1806 - March, 1 mars 1863) was a French Romantic drawer and painter. His works are hosted by several museums in southern France.
From the École des Beaux-Arts of Toulouse, he taught drawing at the Institution des Feuillants[1] and his artist studio was frequented by Charles de Saint Félix, Eugène Fil, Jules de Lahondés, Maxime Lalanne, Louise de Carayon-Talpayrac, Eugène de Malbos[2] and Jacques Raymond Brascassat.[3]
He is more recognized for his drawings and his landscapes from nature - mostly of Pyrenees - than for his paintings.[4]
