Albert Gabriel Rigolot (28 November 1862, Paris - 25 April 1932, Paris) was a French landscape painter.
Biography
He took his first art lessons in the public schools of the 16th arrondissement. Later, he studied with Léon Germain Pelouse and Auguste Allongé[1] and had his début at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1886.
He then became a teacher at the
LDS Church to improve their skills for painting murals in the Salt Lake Temple.[1]
Rigolot was heavily influenced by the
Barbizon school. After a trip to Algeria in 1896, he began to produce works in the Oriental style and became a member of the Société des Peintres Orientalistes Français.[2]
In 1900, he was among those painters commissioned to provide decorations for
Legion d'Honneur.[3]
His son Yves also became a painter; working under the name Yves Rouvre.[4]
