Victor Vignon was a French Impressionist landscape painter and graphic artist. He was friends with various painters including: Camille Pissarro, Paul Cézanne, and Vincent van Gogh. He also exhibited at several of the Impressionist exhibitions during the 1800s held in Paris. Several his paintings focused on the French countryside where he lived, and even Vincent van Gogh found himself painting the very same farmhouses which Vignon painted.
