Michel Bouillon was an important painter of still lifes of often monumental dimensions. He was born in a small village just outside Tournai. When Bouillon was in his late forties Tournai was conquered by King Louis XIV of France. Our painter might thereafter also have worked in France, where an important number of his paintings can still be found. His artistic production shows a mix of Flemish and of French elements.
