Etienne Philippe Martin , born in Marseille on , and dead in the same place the , is a French painter, composer and writer.

Étienne Martin, only son of the watercolorist Paul Martin, began a career as a pianist. He follows the courses of Millout, Darboville and Thurner. Victim of cramps, he devoted himself to the musical composition and became a member of the jury of the Marseille Conservatory. He then devoted himself mainly to painting. First of all, a pupil of his father, he initiated himself with oil painting with Antoine Vollon, leader of Provencal painting. All his life he follows the teachings of this master whom he claims to be and whose biography he wrote. He is also inspired by Alphonse Moutte, director of the School of Fine Arts in Marseille.

He participated in the Paris salons from 1876 until 1932, first exhibiting watercolors and then oil paintings. He obtained an honorable mention in 1885 and received a silver medal at the Universal Exhibition of 1889 [ first ] .

A tireless worker, he spends his time to many activities. THE He is elected member of the Marseille Academy. On the death of his father, he was appointed in 1905 curator of the Gassendi museum in Digne-les-Bains, a post he occupied until his death in 1945. He will also be chairman of the board of directors of this museum from 1906 to 1912. He devotes his fortune for the realization of this museum which, to pay tribute to him, will devote a room reconstituting his cabinet [ 2 ] . He was also president of the Association of Marseille artists from 1912 to 1916 and from 1920 to 1923. He wrote some works, in particular An artist’s reflection on science , where he exposes his obsession with progress and science. The presence of diligence in his works, as in The mail And Relay Exhibited at the Gassendi Museum, expresses its nostalgia to see testimonies from the past disappear.
