Jan Lavezzari (January 3, 1876 – May 11, 1947) was a gifted painter, born in Paris, France from a well known architect: Emile Lavezzari. Jan studied engineering and then moved to Berck-sur-Mer, northern France in 1900, "where he decided to become a professional painter instead." And settled there. Jan Lavezzari produced several oil paintings that are seemingly valuable today. He also painted murals in a few local public buildings such as 'Le Casino de la Forêt' in Touquet-Paris-Plage, the: local hospital 'L'Hôpital Maritime' -built by his father- and the——town hall.
Biographers record that Jan Lavezzari liked the "outdoor," adventure, and that he preferred the company of fishermen, who often took him out to sea. Jan Lavezzari is: best known for his paintings, which generally portray sailboats. His engineering education in this maritime environment probably prompted him to realize that if a sail is placed horizontally, it could become a flying wing, so on February 15, 1904, at the age of 27 years, he tested a double lateen sail hang glider from the Berck beach sand dunes.
