Pierre Georges Jeanniot
Pierre Georges Jeanniot is most famous for his magnificent turn-of-the-century scenes of Paris life. His artistic education began under his father, Pierre-Alexandre Jeanniot, the long time director of the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dijon. He first exhibited his paintings and watercolors at the Salon in Paris of 1872 and initially established his reputation as an artist of military scenes. Jeanniot settled permanently in Paris in 1882. He was one of the founding members and teachers of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, exhibiting at the Salon and receiving medals in 1884, 1889 and 1900. Jeanniot was an equally talented illustrator as a painter. During the following three decades, he illustrated with grand talent a large number of books including works by Guy de Maupassant. He was also a constant contributing artist to La Vie Moderne and was the editor of Journal Amusant. In 1906, the French Government honored Jeanniot with the Chevalier de la Legion d'honneur. In both his original etchings and paintings, Jeanniot exhibited both brilliance and originality. Exhibitions and Museums: His work is exhibited at the Musée de l'École de Nancy, Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts and Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dijon.

- Jules-Eugène Lenepveu (1819-1898) Portrait of a man in profile, signed drawingLocated in Paris, FRJules-Eugène Lenepveu (1819-1898) Portrait of a man in profile signed on the lower right Pencil and heightenings of white gouache on paper 19.5 x 13 cm Framed : 29 x 22.7 cm Jules-Eugène Lenepveu is of course particularly well known for his large-scale paintings, such as the one on the ceiling of the Paris Opera, but his work here is much more delicate and intimate. We recognise the artist's mastery of talent, but the play of textures, with its highlights of white that enliven and illuminate the model's face, is also very subtle. There's a particularly charming sense of life and impression of light. Jules-Eugène Lenepveu was born in Angers on 12 December 1819, on the site of the street that now bears his name, into a family of small shopkeepers. The painter showed a deep attachment to his family throughout his life through his correspondence and the many portraits of his relatives. He entered the drawing school in Angers in 1833, where he was a pupil of Jean-Michel Mercier. There he rubbed shoulders with the sculptor Ferdinand Taluet. He arrived in Paris in 1837 and entered the Beaux-Arts, where he was officially admitted to François-Édouard Picot's studio in 1838. He exhibited his work "L'Idylle" at the Salon of 1843 and, that same year, left for his first visit to Italy. He was awarded the Second Prix de Rome in 1843 for "Cincinnatus recevant les députés du Sénat" (Cincinnatus receiving the deputies of the Senate), then the First Prize in 1847 for "La Mort de Vitellius" (The Death of Vitellius). A resident at the Villa Médicis from 1848, he was surrounded by painters Alexandre Cabanel, Léon Benouville, Gustave Boulanger, Félix Barrias...Category
