{"title":"Vollon, Antoine","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntoine Vollon (1833–1900)\u003c\/strong\u003e was a French painter best known for richly handled still lifes, especially food, vessels and kitchen utensils. Born in Lyon, he initially trained in decorative painting before moving to Paris in the 1850s. His work attracted attention at the Paris Salon for its vigorous brushwork and ability to suggest different surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis \u003ca href=\"\/products\/vollon-antoine-1833-1900-fish-1871-75\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eFish\u003c\/em\u003e (1871–75)\u003c\/a\u003e, held by the Brooklyn Museum, arranges freshly caught fish with reeds and a basket.
