At the age of 18 he moved to Paris to work and study in the workshop of Pierre Guerin, a then very well-known neoclassical painter and lithographer. He then studied at the Academie des Beaux-Arts and soon became famous. Already his first works brought him artistic but also commercial success. He portrayed among others the families of the rising bourgeoisie but he also created numerous genre pictures with religious and mythological themes. At the age of only 29 years Monvoisin had his first exhibition in the Louvre in Paris. He then received an art scholarship that enabled him to travel to Italy and study Italian masters at the Villa Medici in Rome.
Afterwards he travelled through Central America and arrived in Chile via Argentina, now quite destitute. Here he was celebrated and again had the opportunity to paint many portraits of influential citizens of the country but also landscapes. The Chileans at this time were in a real enthusiasm for everything French. The Chilean government even entrusted the artist with the management of the Academy of Painting in the capital Santiago. Raymond Monvoisin did a lot for painting in Chile and in Argentina. But he also earned a lot of money, which he invested in mines and real estate, among other things. He owned a huge hacienda there. In 1857 the artist was awarded the French Order of Merit ( L'ordre national de la Légion d'honneur - Knight of the Legion of Honour) for his life's work and returned to France. In the meantime, however, his taste in art had changed and the seventy-eight-year-old Monvoisin no longer found the recognition he had previously received. He also lost the money he had earned in South America, because he was not a clever businessman, but a man who was a good businessman. was an artist. Raymond Monvoisin died two years later, completely impoverished in Boulogne sur Mer. Famous works of the artist are "Jeanne d Arc" (from 1843) and "The Shipwreck of Young Daniel".
