Catalogue Note
Antoine Vollon attended the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Lyon (1850-1852). He moved to Paris in 1859 and met the realist painters François Bonvin and Théodule Ribot, who encouraged him to paint genre and still-life scenes. In 1863 he exhibited at the Salon des Refusés and in 1865 at the Salon where he showed his work every year until 1880. He became a member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in 1897.
