Cote et valeur de l'artiste Georges Hyon  

Considered a war painter in his own right in his own time, Georges Hyon leaves behind an artistic identity of his own. This legacy consists mainly of paintings. Today, prices for his works are rising under the auctioneer's hammer, and his stock is stable. His canvases and other works are particularly prized, especially by French buyers, and the price at which they sell on the art market ranges from €120 to €19,000, a considerable delta but one that speaks volumes about the value that can be attributed to Hyon's works. In 2017, an oil on canvas entitled Grenadiers à pied de la garde faisant le coup de feu en protection de l'Empereur Napoléon Ier, durant la Retraite de Russie sold for €19,000, whereas it was estimated at between €4,000 and €6,000.

Georges Hyon, forgotten war painter  

Georges Hyon (1855-1913?) was a French painter who produced battle and war scenes, sometimes years after the historical events in question.

He was born in Paris - no details are known of his childhood or artistic training. It was at the end of the Second Empire, in the 1870s, that Hyon began his artistic production, taking part in several exhibitions, including those held at the Salon de peinture et de sculpture, as well as in the United States, where an exhibition on the imperial couple Napoleon III and Eugénie was held in Nassau County.

He depicts military scenes in most of his compositions, drawing his inspiration mainly from the two Empires and the wars fought during these periods. 

Georges Hyon's mark on his era

Georges Hyon didn't make much of a mark on his era, but his work remains interesting today and is prized by some collectors.
