Benoît Benoni-Auran (13 December 1859 in Monteux - 25 January 1944)[1][2] was a Provençal master painter.
Biography[edit]
Benoni-Auran's training began at the Séminaire de Sainte-Garde in Saint-didier, Vaucluse where French painter Pierre Laplanche taught him drawing. During this period he perfected his skills in pictorial art in contact with artists Jules Laurens , Némorin Cabane and Léonce de Seynes.[3]

He would go on to study at École des Beaux-Arts d'Avignon (now École des Beaux-Arts d'Avignon) where he became a pupil of Pierre Grivolas and was awarded a travel grant. Around 1881, with the support of Jules Laurens, Benoni-Auran would be admitted to the Beaux-Arts de Paris and would join Alexandre Cabanel's atelier. In 1888 he joined Jean-Baptiste Lavastre's atelier where he collaborated in the creation of murals in the central dome for the Exposition Universelle (1889).
Works[edit]
Some of his works are displayed in the Town Hall of Monteux.
