About Paul Chaigneau

  • Biography

    Paul Chaigneau was a 19th century French artist who specialized in landscapes and animal paintings. His work bears a striking resemblance to that of Jean Ferdinand Chaigneau, who was also a landscape and animal painter.

    Paul Chaigneau was especially adept painting pastoral scenes incorporating flocks of sheep. This particular work, Troupeau de Moutons avec Berger, features Chaigneau's specialty. In the scene, we find a flock being led by a shepherd and his dog; the setting sun highlights their movement home. Chaigneau also paints iconic haystacks in the background, which are similarly set alight by the glowing sunset.
