who transformed the site in a Florentine style palace and decorated some large rooms with
very original paintings which can still be seen to day.
The De Luppé palace was sometime called the Arles 'Villa Medicis'.
He met the painter Léo Lelée and invited him in Arles. Lelée settle in Arles and became a Frederic Mistral
follower who called him the Arlésiennes painter.
While in Arles Gaston de Luppé received and lodged many arists.He gave to the city some sculptures
still in parks and avenues.He was also interested in archeology.
Her daughter Diane de Luppé (who died in 2007) and her husband Christian de Maynard decided
to revive his atelier and with Christiane Perret-by (Cris Pereby), painter and sculptor,
use it as a culture place open to everyone in the spirit of Gaston de Luppé.
