Biography:
Francois Bonvin began studying art at the age of eleven and painted his first known work while working as a clerk for the Paris police department. He was inspired by the Dutch paintings that he studied at the Louvre, especially those of Pieter de Hooch, and imitated their quiet, intimate feel in his own still life and genre scenes. Through his relationship with Gustave Courbet, Bonvin became a leader in the Realist movement. He supported the artists of the movement such as half-brother Leon Bonvin, James McNeill Whistler, and Henri Fatin-Latour, giving them money, supplies, and exhibiting their work in his atelier. Later in his career, Bonvin traveled in the Netherlands and London before settling in a small French village to continue painting his small genre scenes.
