François Guiguet
François Joseph Guiguet (8 January 1860 – 3 September 1937) was a French painter.
Biography
He was born in
École nationale des beaux-arts de Lyon
.
In 1879, on Ravier's recommendation, he was enrolled in the class of
École des Beaux-arts, where he worked in the studios of Alexandre Cabanel.[1] While there, he also became a friend of Puvis de Chavannes and Félix Thiollier, who also had a great influence on his work, despite not being a painter. Guiguet made his debut at the Salon in 1885.[1]
He specialized in painting woman and children, frequently returned to his hometown seeking inspiration and exhibited widely, including England, the United States, Germany and even
Légion d'honneur.[2]
After 1914, he spent more time in Corbelin and died at his home there. The François Guiguet Municipal Museum opened in 1989, with a collection of 78 oils, 13 watercolors and over 3,500 drawings, donated by Louis Guiguet (his nephew). It closed in 2011.[3]
