La genèse du château
Au 17e siècle la propriété s’étend sur plus de 550 ha. Elle appartenait aux moines de St Jean et abritait des bergeries « la métairie de Caudéran ».
Au 19e siècle Mr Mathieu SEURIN, armateur, fit l’acquisition du domaine. Vers 1870, il édifia en appui de la métairie existante, le château, les écuries, la volière et le pigeonnier. À sa mort, sous le règne du Pape Léon XIII, sa femme fit élever la chapelle à Saint Mathieu. Elle fut ordonnée en 1897.
Château Léognan changea de propriétaire durant ces années, Mr Jean Marie DUBOS, important négociant bordelais de la maison « DUBOS Frères », nouveau maître des lieux ajouta au Château la galerie supportée par les quatre colonnes, il créa également l’étang et le parc à daims.
La renaissance de la propriété
Durant le 19e siècle, cette magnifique propriété très en vue fut largement courtisée par la bourgeoisie des arts et des lettres. François MAURIAC en fait le lieu de passage dans son roman « les chemins de la mer ».
Une nouvelle division, début du 20e siècle, transforme la propriété telle que l’on peut la découvrir aujourd’hui. Le propriétaire de l’époque découvre une magnifique veine de graves sablonneuse proche de l’étang. Il décide de planter 6 ha sous la maîtrise de son ami propriétaire du grand cru classé voisin du Château Léognan.
Enfin, au cours de l’année 2006 : Philippe et Chantal MIECAZE découvrent le joyau que représente la propriété, elle correspond en tout point à leur recherche. Aussitôt ils se rendent acquéreurs et deviennent propriétaires de Château Léognan début 2007.
Jean-Yves Saint Lezer, a contemporary French artist, embarked on his artistic journey from a tender age, initially expressing his creativity through pencil drawings. The spark ignited during his school days, where he vividly recalls sketching a sailboat (a corvette) that adorned the cover of his notebooks. His artistic endeavors expanded as he repeatedly drew and diversified into landscapes, still lifes, and various subjects.
Life took its course, and Jean-Yves Saint Lezer pursued a career until retirement, putting his artistic passion on hold. With the luxury of time in retirement, he rekindled his love for painting, primarily focusing on landscapes and still lifes. His creations are characterized by a unique and pure artistic vision, reflecting his personal interpretations.
In his artistic practice, Jean-Yves draws inspiration from renowned painters like Bill Alexander and Bob Ross, both known for their mastery of the wet-on-wet technique. While adhering to this technique, Jean-Yves goes beyond, combining multiple artistic approaches to diversify his style. His paintings stand as a testament to the harmonious fusion of influences, resulting in a body of work that is uniquely his own.
As Jean-Yves Saint Lezer continues to explore and experiment with various techniques, his art resonates with a genuine passion for creation. Retired but invigorated by the opportunity to pursue his artistic calling, he brings a fresh perspective to the canvas, creating pieces that reflect not only his skill but also the joy derived from the process of artistic expression.
