A self-made explorer and archeologist, Jean Commaille has played an important role in the pioneer years of Angkorean studies. He had also quite the artist’s eye, as some 37 watercolors, 23 oil paintings and numerous sketches testify.
Art historian Nadine André-Pallois offers a presentation of the artist, and an extensive inventory of his body of work.
