Catalogue Note
Antoine Vollon began his career in Lyon as a student at the local École des Beaux-Arts from 1850-1852. After moving, in 1859, to Paris he became interested in still life under the encouragement of Théodule Ribot and François Bonvin. The Salon des Refusés of 1863 counts him as among the exhibitors, and two years later he is accepted into the official Salon where he became a regular. Recognition of his distinguished career arrived in 1897 when he was elected as a full academician of the Académie des Beaux-Arts.
