John James Chalon
Peintre suisse actif en Angleterre
John James Chalon, membre de la Royal Academy (RA), était un peintre suisse actif en Angleterre. Il traitait une large gamme de sujets : paysages, scènes maritimes, vie animale et compositions figuratives. He was born at Geneva, of an old French family who had taken refuge there after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes. He went to England when quite young, and entered the Schools of the Academy in 1796. His first picture, 'Banditti at their Repast,' appeared in 1800. In 1808, he, his brother Alfred Edward Chalon, and some friends, founded the Sketching Society, and in the same year he joined the Water-Colour Society, but in 1813 he seceded from it, and again devoted himself to painting pictures in oil for the Royal Academy. He was elected an Associate of that institution in 1827, and an Academician in 1841. En 1847, il fut frappé d'une attaque de paralysie et, après une longue et douloureuse maladie, mourut à Kensington en 1854. Il est enterré au cimetière de Highgate.
