François Vernay

François Vernay (1821 - 1896) was active/lived in France.  Francois Vernay is known for Still life paintings.

François Vernay's career began in 1844, when he graduated from the flower class at the École des Beaux-Arts in Lyon. He became a "dessinandier" (i.e. designer of cartons for canuts) of floral decorations for the silk industry in Lyon. It was undoubtedly his meeting with François-Auguste Ravier, in 1850, that profoundly influenced his artistic approach. He soon began to alternate between painting flowers and landscapes. He abandoned his dark palette, and color gradually made its appearance in his painting. From 1865 onwards, he turned to still lifes based on flowers and fruit.
