The Lyon school and its style of painters

The Lyon school is part of one of the main groups of artists of the Troubadour style in Lyon. Particularly representative of the city of Lyon, This school is considered an artistic movement that adopts the traditions and colors of the city. The school is founded by many Known painters of which Pierre VEY. At the start of the movement, we find especially in addition to the troubadour genre, floral painters who draw a lot of inspiration from the patterns used for silk pieces as well as landscape painters. In 1830, the style then takes inspiration from the mystical and illuminist movements of Lyon.

Still present today, Lyon painting is expressed in several Lyon art galleries. There are the most recurring works of the Lyonnaise School period of course, but also other artists who were not necessarily part of the movement.. Among the most renowned of course, Paul Revoil but also others such as Victor Orsel or Hippolyte Flandrin who follows the second wave of inspiration from the same school and whom Charles Baudelaire will qualify as "penal colony".
