Biography

Poughéon studied under Jean-Paul Laurens and Albert Besnard at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and later at the École des Arts Décoratifs with Charles Lameire.

In 1914 Poughéon won the Prix de Rome.[1] In 1927, he was awarded the silver medal at the Paris Salon, and two years later the gold medal.[2]
In 1935 he started teaching at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, and at the Académie Julian.[3] He was made director of the Villa Médici, French Academy in Rome in 1942 and soon after became curator of the Musée Jacquemart-André.

Besides his paintings, murals, frescoes, and decors, Poughéon also illustrated books as well as providing artwork for banknotes.[4]
