Germain Ribot

b. 1845 — d. 1893

Germain Théodore Ribot was the son of the more famous Théodule-Augustin Ribot (q.v.), and brother of Louise-Aimée (1857-1916), also a painter. Germain-Théodore studied with his father and then with Antoine Vollon (1833-1900). He first participated in the Salon of 1875 and continued to do so through the end of the decade. His style and subject matter are difficult to distinguish from that of his father. Germain painted genre scenes and still lifes but also flower paintings, rare in his father's oeuvre. He may also, together with his sister, have worked on his father's paintings.
