His moment of glory came at the 1938 Paris Salon exhibition, when his oil painting Cathedrale de Rouen earned him an honorable mention. Merio can be found in distinguished museums and private collections around the world. He died on July 29, 1970, in Montmartre. Measurements refer to the picture complete with frame.
