About the Item

Romantic 19th century painting of a shepherd with his flock attributed to Hippolyte Paul Vayson Hippolyte Paul Vayson is a French painter and engraver born on December 4, 1841 in Gordes (Vaucluse) Son of a justice of the peace, Paul Vayson was a student at the Lycée d'Avignon before taking a law degree in Paris to become a lawyer. He was introduced to painting by being a pupil of Charles Gleyre at the Beaux-Arts in Paris, and in the studio of Jules Laurens. His subjects and landscapes mainly illustrate rural Provence. He exhibited in 1865 at the Salon of French Artists, he was awarded a medal at that of 1875 (3rd year of his trip to Algeria) for his painting La Gardeuse de moutons and at that of 1879 (2nd class medal) for Les Moutons, landscape of Provence. That year he had the architect Paul Casimir Fouquiau build a mansion at 13, rue Fortuny in Paris. He has a Parisian workshop at 16, rue de Navarin. He was a member of the jury of the Salon des artistes français (painting section) and promoted to officer of the Legion of Honor in 1886. He married in Lisieux on April 6, 1876 with Clotilde Polin, with whom he had two children. He was elected mayor of Murs (Vaucluse) from 1896, the year of the death of his brother who held this position, until his own death in 1911. A monument was inaugurated in his honor on September 18, 1913, in the Jardin du Rocher des Doms in Avignon, in the presence of Frédéric Mistral. This work by the sculptor Félix Charpentier represents him in bust form with a shepherdess and her sheep. He was the owner of the castle of Murs and that of Javon. His son was the prehistorian André Vayson de Pradenne. The canvas alone measures 61*43 cms and with its contemporary frame ca. 71*54 cms.
