The Languedoc region has drawn artists over the centuries. Poussin, Cezanne, Van Gough and Picasso and an army of other serious and talented artists have made their way to the Languedoc. The light and the landscape make it a popular location for painters. Museums in Céret and Thuir and the fame of Collioure are legacies of fine art in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
