\n*Auguste-Andr\u00e9 Lan\u00e7on (1836 – 1887): Lithographer in Lons-le-Saunier, he easily passed the entrance exam to the Lyon School of Fine Arts in 1853, where he studied under Bonnefond (1853-1857), then, in 1858, the Paris School of Fine Arts, where he studied under Picot (1858-1860).
\nRejected by academic teaching, he turned away from schools, preferring the Louvre. He admired Millet, Delacroix, Corot, Courbet and, in another field, the sculptures of Antoine-Louis Barye. The latter was to influence his career as an animal artist. He is a painter, engraver and sculptor in one.
\nLan\u00e7on exhibited his work in Paris at the Salon from 1861 to 1870, under the name Andr\u00e9, then auguste (his Christian name) from 1872.
\nHe then became a military painter, taking part in the Balkan War in 1877.
\n9 works at the Mus\u00e9e d’Orsay
\nNumerous paintings in the Mus\u00e9e des Beaux-Arts de Dole and the Mus\u00e9e de Vend\u00f4me, and engravings in the Mus\u00e9e Municipal de Nuits-Saint-Georges and the Mus\u00e9e du Domaine de Sceaux.
