Artist bio
Paul Vernon born in 1796 was a student of Diaz and Théodore Rousseau. He exhibited at the Salon and is considered a master of the Barbizon school. According to an extract from the "Journal des deux monde, Journal des grands voyages" published in 1880: "Paul Vernon is now a master of those of the second generation. The first which is composed of Diaz, Corot, Rousseau etc... In Paul Vernon, talent is subdivided into 2 distinct ways: when he himself is full of melancholic reveries, as befits a singer of the woods, as he was at Bas Breau, as he is in the forest of Chambord and at Belles Croix, there, the fanfares of the Pan Flute have muffled tones and the old oaks plunge into the atmosphere. When he is an imitator of Rousseau, he is so in such a way that the most astute expert does not see a thing, and does not know how to distinguish the Master from the pupil. I keep for the good mouth a realist painter of the most sincere and the most distinguished."
