    Born in Lanvéoc, Finistère, France in 1865, Georges Chavignaud watched Corot paint as a boy and later came under the influence of this artist.

    He arrived in Toronto in 1884 and became an art director for a Canadian publishing firm. He studied at the Académie royale des beaux-arts in Brussels in 1903, studied black and white in Paris and painting in Antwerp in 1904. He became an admirer of French Impressionism. He travelled to Belgium in 1904 where he painted and studied.

    He became the principal of Victoria School of Art and Design in Halifax in 1912-16. He travelled frequently in Europe from 1914. Chavignaud died in Meadowvale, Ontario in 1944.
