was a French painter. Auguste Goy is a pupil of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres for a few months in 1834, but lack of resources, it can not follow it in Rome when he proposed it. Portraitist and landscape painter in Paris, it illustrates a book on the Creuse and then stayed in England until 1845. In 1847, Auguste Goy attaches to Quimper, where from 1861 he was professor of drawing at the college in the city. The local bourgeoisie commissioned portraits. He lives very isolated, not attending at all the Parisian artistic circles. He paints landscapes from around Quimper and those Bigouden genre scenes, interiors or coffee houses, portraits of peasants in traditional dress, deals with historical subjects such as the return of the Crimea. His work presents a documentary interest that illustrates daily life in Cornwall in the nineteenth century. An exhibition was dedicated to him at Kerazan mansion in Loctudy between 26 April and 30 September 2005.
