Notes:
Born at Crest, France, his family name was originally Guyonnet de Pivat but through an error in registration, following the French Revolution, the name was recorded as Dyonnet. In 1868 he moved with his family to Turin, Italy, where he attended school until 1873, when his father’s business took them back to Crest. He came to Montreal, Canada, in 1875, when his family settled there. He attended the School of Arts and Crafts where he copied lithographs and did studies from the cast. Seeking more advanced instruction he went to Italy where he studied under Professor Gastaldi. Working seven days a week to get the most out of his classes he made a very keen student.
