Jean-Charles Remond (Paris, 1795-1875) studied under Jean-Baptiste Regnault and Jean-Victor Bertin and won the Grand Prix de Rome for historical landscape painting in 1821 with "The Abduction of Proserpine by Pluto". Upon returning from Rome, he opened a studio at the end of 1826. Rémond devoted himself primarily to historical landscapes and ceased exhibiting at the Salon after 1848. His travels to Sweden, the Auvergne region, and Calabria provided him with numerous sources of vivid and sincere landscapes. His works are held in the collections of museums in Nantes, Montpellier, Chartres, Angers, Dijon, and Perpignan.
