Jean-Charles REMOND (Paris, 1795-1875) followed the traditional teaching of Jean-Baptiste Regnault and Jean-Victor Bertin, and in 1821 won the Grand Prix de Rome for historical landscape with "L'Enlèvement de Proserpine par Pluton". On his return from Rome, he opened a studio at the end of 1826. Rémond devoted himself mainly to historical landscapes and stopped exhibiting at the Salon after 1848. His travels in Sweden, the Auvergne and Calabria are all sources of alert, sincere landscapes. Museums in Nantes, Montpellier, Chartres, Angers, Dijon and Perpignan own his works.
