Live and act

Augustin Feyen-Perrin came from a family of civil servants, his grandfather was an administrative officer, his father a tax collector. The painter Jacques-Eugène Feyen (1815–1908) was his older brother.

Feyen-Perrin began his artistic training at a drawing school in Nancy ; later he went to Paris. First he learned in the studio of Michel-Martin Drolling (1789-1851). He successfully applied to the École des Beaux-Arts and became a student of the painters Léon Cogniet , Paul Delaroche and Adolphe Yvon .

On October 14, 1888, Feyen-Perrin died in Paris at the age of 62 and found his final resting place on the Cimetière de Montmartre (Division 18). The sculptor Ernest Guilbert (1848–1913) was commissioned to design the tombstone. On the occasion of the inauguration of this monument on November 13, 1892, Henri Boucher gave a speech that was published that same year.

In addition to allegorical-poetic depictions , it was above all history and genre painting that interested him.

Feyen-Perrin only found his own style after traveling to the coastal towns of Brittany with Jules Breton . He began to depict the simple life of fishermen. Feyen-Perrin was best known for genre portraits. It was called "Peintre des Cancalaises".
