Antoine Vollon had a difficult fate: his parents died when he was just sixteen - while he was busy painting. This fate has worked out for him in many areas, including the subject of art; and not to the detriment. Sincere feelings, personal emotions and willingness to reveal himself have become his works. Vollon was born and raised in Lyon, France, the son of an artisan. He spent most of his childhood painting. Before the death of his parents, he painted with them even on weekends - often late into the night. In 1840 Antoine went to Paris, where he held his first exhibition shortly after. In his paintings you can find typical motifs of Paris: the beautiful houses in the old town, the Parisian flair and, of course, the people.
He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts of Lyon, where he later had his professional breakthrough. At first Antoine Vollon worked as an assistant to André Derain and later as an artist in his own right. His paintings were mostly exhibited in Europe. He worked with Jean Dubuffet and Alberto Giacometti, among others. In his own studio he built so-called murals, which he often attached to closed rooms. He was also known for his portrait paintings. In 1860 he and Marie-Fanny Boucher married and later had two children, Alexis and Marguerite. He often painted portraits of his daughter in particular. Looking at these paintings, one can see the states of mind of hard-feeling people. You can also see the beauty of the surroundings. He painted most of the portraits of his daughter in 1869.
Little is known about his character, which is related to his relatively buttoned-up and secretive nature. However, he could express himself excellently in his paintings and carried his emotional world to the outside. His paintings depict the longings of people on the street and by the sea. In his works, he also shows sensitive issues that he touched in the places where he lived. Many of his paintings were shown on Wall Street or other large markets. Antoine Vollon was a painter of his own school, which was more influenced by the tradition of portrait artists. Contemporaries admired his works for their reality and simplicity. His paintings showed something conciliatory, leaving his mark on many societies. For many people Antoine Vollon is a famous artist, but also a man of great achievements. Among other things, he is considered the inventor of the colored brush mirror. Antoin Vallon died on August 27, 1900 at the age of 67 in Paris, France.
