René Fontayne, a celebrated French painter, illustrator, and decorative artist active during the early twentieth century. Fontayne studied during the interwar period and became established as an artist by the start of the 1920s. In 1928, the French government acquired a landscape painted by Fontayne: a significant achievement. Fontayne is celebrated not only for his paintings on canvas, but also for his decorative compositions: the artist painted and designed the interiors of important buildings, such as the town hall of Vincennes, and designed sets and costumes for theatrical productions in Paris.
