Biographical Note
Antoine Vollon (1833-1900) was a French nineteenth century realist artist known for still lifes, landscapes, and figures. Antoine was born in Lyon in 1833 where he studied and worked at engraving, printmaking, and enameling, before moving to Paris in 1859 to pursue his painting career.
Antoine proved an ambitious and successful artist. Beginning in 1864, Antoine exhibited his work at the Paris Salon. He was awarded medals at the Salon in 1865, 1868 and 1869, and received a gold medal at the Exposition Universelle of 1878. He served as an elected member of the Salon's jury for at least ten years beginning in 1870. Antoine was decorated Chevalier of the Légion d'Honneur in 1870 and promoted to Officier in 1878. He was elected to the painting section of the Institut de France’s Académie des Beaux Arts in 1897, and in 1900 he was awarded the Grand Prix at the Paris World's Fair.
Antoine married Marie-Fanny Boucher in 1860 and had two children, Alexis and Marguerite. He died in August of 1900 after suffering a stroke while painting at Versailles. He is buried in the Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris.
Alexis Vollon (1865-1945) was a French painter and engraver of figures, genre scenes, and landscapes. Alexis studied under his father, Antoine Vollon. Beginning in 1885, he exhibited in Paris at the Salon des Artistes Français. He was a hors concours member, and a member of the Committee and Panel of Judges. Alexis was awarded an honorable mention in 1885, a third-class medal in 1888, a second-class in 1889, and a silver medal at the Exposition Universelle in 1900. He was decorated Chevalier of the Légion d'Honneur in 1900.
Scope and Content Note
Materials in this collection were assembled by Carol Forman Tabler, a curator and scholar of Antoine Vollon, through gifts and purchases during the course of her research. Items are divided into three series according to the principal correspondent.
Series I: Antoine Vollon Correspondence, 1862-1900 consists mainly of correspondence in French received by Antoine Vollon, with a small number of handwritten letters sent by Antoine. Many of the correspondents are fellow artists writing to Antoine as a friend, peer, teacher, and member of the jury for the Paris Salon. Official correspondence from various government entities regards art purchases made by the State; artwork commissioned by the State; Antoine's Chevalier and Officier de la Légion d'honneur decorations; Antoine's service as a juror of the painting section at the Paris Salon in the 1870s; and his entries in the Exposition Universelle and the Exposition Decennale. Correspondence, receipts, invitations and other records document Antoine's affiliation with the Société des Artistes Français and the Institut de France Académie des Beaux Arts, including a vote tally illustrating Antoine's election to the Institut in 1897.
Series II: Alexis Vollon Correspondence, 1888-1937 consists mainly of correspondence in French received by Alexis Vollon, with several letters written by Alexis, and a small amount of correspondence addressed to his wife Mathilde. Correspondents are largely fellow artists, many of whom were also acquainted with his father, Antoine. The correspondence regards Paris Salons, Antoine Vollon and his art, praise for Alexis' art, and congratulations on accomplishments. Other topics include invitations and appointments, news of friends and family, health, and World War I.
Series III: Other Correspondents, 1846-1935 contains correspondence in French where neither Antoine nor Alexis Vollon is the identified sender or recipient. Correspondents are French artists often writing to other French artists. Letters are filed under the name of the sender, and recipients are noted when known. Many of the correspondents are also found in Series I and Series II above, and it is possible that some of the anonymous recipients are actually Antoine or Alexis. Correspondence regards specific works of art, submissions to exhibitions, Salon entries and Salon business, Antoine’s election to the Institut, invitations and regrets, and condolences.
Each item of correspondence is generally accompanied by a typed transcript and short summary in English created by Carol Forman Tabler.
