Jacques Majorelle grew up in the soft industrial light of Nancy in north eastern France, the son of Louis Majorelle, a celebrated Art Nouveau furniture designer.Young Jacques was supposed to follow a respectable path into architecture, but painting pulled more strongly.

Then, illness and chance carried him south, across the Mediterranean, to Morocco.Diarmuid Gavin tells us about the La Majorelle, an iconic garden in Marakaecch.
