...   Guillaume Seignac (French pronunciation: [ɡijom sɛɲak]; 25 September 1870 – 2 October 1924) was a French academic painter.


Childhood
Guillaume was born in Rennes in 1870, and died in Paris in 1924. He started training at the Académie Julian in Paris, where he spent 1889 through 1895. He had many teachers there, including Gabriel Ferrier, William-Adolphe Bouguereau, and Tony Robert-Fleury.


Career
