Raymond Legueult (1898–1971) was a French painter associated with Réalité Poétique, recognized for his refined approach to color and landscape. His work often reflects a lyrical vision of nature.

He painted gardens, countryside scenes, and seasonal landscapes, using subtle tonal variations and fluid brushwork. His compositions favor harmony and continuity rather than contrast.

As part of the movement, he contributed to its emphasis on sensitivity and balance in the representation of everyday subjects.

His paintings evoke a quiet, almost musical rhythm, where color and form interact gently to create a sense of atmosphere and poetic presence.
