Antoine Vollon (23 April 1833 – 27 August 1900)[1] was a French realist artist, best known as a painter of still lifes, landscapes, and figures.[2] During his lifetime, Vollon was a successful celebrity,[3] enjoyed an excellent reputation, and was called a "painter's painter."[4] In 2004, New York's then-PaceWildenstein gallery suggested that his "place in the history of French painting has still not been properly assessed."[5]
