Peintre de la Marine (French pronunciation: [pɛ̃tʁə də la maʁin], Painter of the Fleet) is a title awarded by the minister of defence in France to artists who have devoted their talents to the sea, the French Navy and other maritime subjects. It was set up in 1830 by the July Monarchy and can be awarded to painters, photographers, illustrators, engravers, and sculptors.
The title is unpaid but does grant certain facilities and privileges:
The peintres agréés are named for a 3-year term by a jury of naval officers and peintres titulaires and presided over by a general officer of the Navy. To become a peintre titulaire, one has to serve as a peintre agréé for more than 4 consecutive terms (12 years).
