Fourth generation in a family of antique dealers, architects, decorators and experts, Jean roudillon was born between a Jivaro shrunken head and an Aftrican tribal mask. His father was one of the first men to be interested in African art and used to ask 7 year old Jean to determine whether an object came from Senoufa, Kota, Baoule, Ancient Greece, or Gothic France. He studied at the Ecole du Louvre in Paris and became an expert a few years after the Liberation. His general knowledge and long-lasting experience enabled him to answer queries about Primitive Arts from Africa, Oceania or the Americas, as well as about European Haute Époque , the period from the Merovingian to the Renaissance, Mediterranean antiques, or even Greek or Russian icons.
Member of the Syndicat Français des Experts Professionnels en Œuvres d'Art (SFEP) since 1953. In 55 years, Jean Roudillon has taken part more than forty auctions per year (i.e. 2200 auctions) and has edited a thousand catalogues.
