Auguste Chabaud

At the age of fourteen Chabaud joined the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Avignon.

In 1899 he went to Paris to continue his artistic training at the Academie Julian and the Ecole des Beaux Arts.

In 1900 he returned to his parents' vineyard in southern France, because the business was affected by a crisis there.

He painted scenes of rural life, the farmers, and the hills and trails of the Alpilles.

In 1992, the Regional Council of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur opened the Musée Auguste Chabaud in his honor.
