John James Chalon

John James Chalon was a Swiss artist of French descent who worked in England.

Chalon came to London as a young man, studying and working. His favorite subject matter was the landscapes of his native Switzerland, and he painted both scenes at sea and genre paintings of peasants and everyday people. Chalon also painted costume sketchbooks, which are lively and authentic studies of Parisian manners and costumes from 1820-1822.

In 1808 he and his brother, the painter Alfred Chalon (1780-1860), founded the Society for the Study of Epic and Pastoral Drawing, and in 1841 John James Chalon became an Academician of the Royal Academy.
