SEIGNAC Guillaume SEIGNAC
Working during the last half of the 19th century, Guillaume Seignac typifies the French
Academic style which was preached by the Salon and l’Ecole des
Beaux-Arts - where there was daily instruction in life drawing,
anatomy, perspective and painting.
During the end of the 19th
century, Seignac was living in Paris at rue de Fleurus, 26 (moving to
Boulevard du Montparnasse, 84 in 1902) and studied with Tony
Robert-Fleury, Gabriel Ferrier and William A. Bouguereau; the latter,
being one of the driving forces in the Salon at this time, was to have
the greatest influence on him. This is most evident in both Seignac’s
style and choice of subject matter – with its crisp, clear technique
and classical imagery.
Seignac was a frequent exhibitor at the Paris
Salon and received a number of medals for the works he exhibited their;
including an honorable mention in 1900 and a Third Class medal in
1903. Among his exhibited works were:
- Bacchante – Paris Salon 1897
