Camille Bouvagne (born Jean-Baptiste Camille Bouvagne) (1864 – 1936) was a French painter from Lyon, France. A member of the Lyon School (L'École de Lyon or École lyonnaise), Bouvagne exhibited regularly at the Le Salon in Lyon (Salon de la Société Lyonnaise des Beaux-Arts).[1]

Œuvre

Bouvagne, a keen observer of nature, specialized in landscape and still life painting. His style remains split between classical Impressionism and Post-Impressionism; thin, relatively small, yet visible brush strokes, exhibiting an accurate depiction of light and colors that took precedence over lines and contours. Following the example of painters such as Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Bouvagne's palette is restrained, dominated by browns, blacks and silvery green, his brushstrokes carefully controlled.[1]

Career

Camille Bouvagne studied at the École des Beaux-Arts de Lyon (École nationale des beaux-arts de Lyon) under Pierre Miciol (French, 1833-1905),[2] second Prix de Rome, engraving, in 1858, premier Prix de l'Académie française in 1860. Miciol himself was a former student of Jehan Georges Vibert (1840-1902), the French Academic Painter,[3][4][5] and the first co-president of the Société Lyonnaise des Beaux Arts.[6]
