Artist bio
Louis Coignard, (September 4, 1812, Mayenne - November 20, 1880, Paris), French painter.
He is the son of Élisabeth Sigoigne, youngest daughter of a large bourgeois family from Mayenne and Aimé Coignard, a bourgeois from Mayenne who purchased national property.
His parents intended him to be a notary, but the young boy was only passionate about painting.
He came to study in Paris with François-Édouard Picot. A landscape painter, he made his debut at the Salon of 1838. Edmond About praised him.
This allowed him to quit his profession as a painter. His works were highly prized by the bourgeoisie of Mayenne and Sarthe even if he continued to make a career in Paris.
