Paul Tavernier (31 January 1852, Paris - 1943, Fontainebleau) was a French painter who specialized in hunting scenes and animals.
He was a student of Alexandre Cabanel, Adolphe Yvon and Gustave Guillaumet, who advised him to visit North Africa as a means of lightening his palette. He had his debut at the Salon in 1876. [1] Three years later, he began painting en plein aire near Barbizon, and came under the influence of the painters who had made up the art colony there.
In 1883, he became a member of the Société des artistes français and was awarded a third-class medal for works he had created during his stay in Africa. He would continue to send paintings to their exhibits until 1937. [1]
He was not only an admirer of the area where he chose to paint, he also became involved in the municipal affairs of Fontainebleau, participating in projects to develop the city and preserve its environment. Among other things, he helped to create the Golf de Fontainebleau and decorated its club house. Later, he created murals for the municipal theatre, depicting King Louis XV on a hunt. [1]
In 1901, as an amateur horseman, he was one of the founders of the local racing society; helping to renew the Hippodrome De La Solle , which had been built in 1862. [1]
He received bronze medal at the Exposition Universelle of 1900 and, in 1905, a second-class medal at an exhibition of the École des Paysagistes.
He was last heard from in 1943, during World War II. A street in Fontainebleau bears his name.

The Barbizon school of painters were part of an art movement towards Realism in art, which arose in the context of the dominant Romantic Movement of the time. The Barbizon school was active roughly from 1830 through 1870. It takes its name from the village of Barbizon, France, on the edge of the Forest of Fontainebleau, where many of the artists gathered. Most of their works were landscape painting, but several of them also painted landscapes with farmworkers, and genre scenes of village life. Some of the most prominent features of this school are its tonal qualities, color, loose brushwork, and softness of form.
