Alfred Guillou (1844–1926) was a French painter celebrated for his captivating depictions of coastal landscapes, seascapes, and the rural scenery of Brittany, France.

Born in Pont-Aven, a town that later became famous as an artist's colony, Guillou initially pursued a career in architecture before shifting his focus to painting. He spent much of his life in Brittany, which greatly influenced his artistic vision.

Guillou's art often showcased the picturesque beauty of the Breton coastline, rural villages, and the daily life of the local inhabitants. His paintings frequently captured the essence of the rugged cliffs, peaceful harbors, and the changing moods of the sea, reflecting the tranquility and unique charm of the region.

Known for his luminous and atmospheric landscapes, Guillou expertly conveyed the interplay of light and color, depicting the sea, sky, and landscapes with a nuanced and subtle palette. His works reflected a deep connection to the natural world, celebrating the beauty of the Breton countryside.

One of his notable paintings, "The Port of Pont-Aven" (1872), exemplifies Guillou's ability to capture the serene and picturesque nature of coastal life in Brittany.
