Antoine Vollon
Antoine Vollon was a French realist painter known for his still life and landscape paintings.
He studied printmaking at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Lyon and initially worked in a factory painting crockery. Later participation in exhibitions brought success to Vollon: his works are distinguished by sincerity and expressiveness, and his subjects are varied. He painted seascapes, rural landscapes, genre compositions and animals, but most of all in the work of Antoine Vollon still lifes depicting kitchen utensils, dishes and game, which seems to have just been caught.
His son Alexis Vollon (1865-1945) also became an artist.
