Ernest Filliard (1868-1933) was a painter from Savoy who excelled in still life watercolors, with flowers being his favorite subjects.
In 1895, the artist from Chambéry won the Pillet-Will prize. He moved to Paris and lived in Montparnasse. Elected a member of the Society of French Watercolorists in 1906, he received an honorable mention two years later at the Salon des Artistes Français and then a third-class medal in 1911. In 1914, the state awarded him the Legion of Honour.
In 2016, the Faure Museum in Aix-les-Bains dedicated an exhibition to him.
