Camille Bouchet (Born 1799) was a France-based artist who loved art from a very young age. As a child, he could be seen spending much of his free time working on his art. Many of those who surrounded him noticed his talent and they encouraged and helped him in his journey to become an artist. He also had access to many art materials and was in contact with many professional artists. These, coupled with his passion for art, made his learning process to be very easy. When he came of age, he had a learning towards visual art and that’s what he specialized in. Within a short time after launching his career in art, his art became very popular and he became known for painting some of the leading pieces in France. He became much sought after and his art was highly priced.
For example, his art titled 'Cognac Jacquet' sold at an auction for $5,368 at Leslie Hindman Auctioneers in 2012 (Naples 'American & European Art'). Several of his leading pieces of art have been sold at auctions and they have fetched a lot of money. Bouchet’s love for art is evident in all his pieces of art. He produced his art in a variety of finishing options and in different sizes. This he believed was the best way to increase the collectability of his art. And the style he adopted ensured that the pieces he produced could be used to decorate any room or any space. Bouchet died in 1890.
