Constant Troyon (French Painter; 1810-1865): He was a French painter, belonging to the Barbizon School. Son of the decorator Jean-Marie-Dominique (1780-1817) and of a worker, Jeanne Pracht, he made his first painting studies with Denis-Desiré Riocreux, curator of the Sèvres museum, and with Camille Roqueplan. In 1830 Troyon worked together with the painter Paul Huet. In 1846 he discovered the great Dutch landscape painters of the seventeenth century and devoted himself to landscape and animal painting. Like his friends at the Barbizon School (including Claude Monet), success smiled on him at the 1855 Paris Salon. He was awarded four more times at the Salon and also won the Legion of Honor: Napoleon III and Théophile Gautier were his admirers. He died in 1865, suffering from serious mental disorders. He is buried in the Montmartre cemetery. His mother - Troyon never married - established the Prix Troyon after his death, dedicated to animal painters and awarded by the École des Beaux Arts in Paris.
