BIOGRAPHY
Paul Camille Guigou was born to a wealthy family in Villars-les-Apt in 1834. While initially training in a legal practice, “he gave in to his artistic bent for drawing and painting landscapes and was encouraged by Emile Loubon, a highly regarded painter of the herds of bulls in the Camargue region of Provence and director of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Marseilles. His first trip to Paris in 1856 confirmed him in his vocation. His family resigned themselves to his decision, he left Provence and settled in Paris in 1862. Although he worked in Paris on a regular basis, homesickness for Provence forced him to return frequently. In 1866, he made a brief trip to Algeria, where he executed some landscapes. Having joined the army, he returned to Paris in 1871, becoming drawing teacher to Baroness Rothschild. However, after catching a chill, he died of a stroke at Lariboisière Hospital on 21 December 1871, aged 37.
