Paul Guigou

Paul Camille Guigou (15 February 1834 – 21 December 1871) was a French landscape painter.

Guigou was born in Villars, Vaucluse in a wealthy family of farmers and notaries.

He frequented Café Guerbois, a regular location of many future impressionist painters.

He did not gain widespread recognition during his lifetime, and was often met with indifference at public exhibitions.

After his death, his pieces generally fell from the public eye for around thirty years until the Centennial Exposition of French Art in 1900, where he was rediscovered.
