Antoine Chintreuil (1814-73) was born in Pont-de-Vaux and died in Septeuil. He was a landscape artist from a father (Georges) who was a hat maker and haberdasher and a mother (Suzanne) who opened a small girls's school in Pont-de-Vaux and who gave Antoine his early education before he joined the Collège de Pont-de-Vaux. An old friend of the family gave him art lessons.
Chintreuil has been called one of the precursors to the Impressionists and a museum which bears his name is in Pont-de-Vaux.
