About the Item

Jean Georges VIBERT (1840-1902) Jehan Georges Vibert, known as Jean-Georges Vibert, born September 30, 1840 in Paris and died July 26, 1902 in Paris, is a French painter and playwright. He began an artistic apprenticeship with his maternal grandfather, the engraver Jean-Pierre-Marie Jazet. More interested in painting than engraving, he entered the studio of Félix-Joseph Barrias, then was admitted to the Ecole des beaux-arts de Paris in 1857. He remained there for six years in the studio of François-Édouard Picot. Vibert began exhibiting in 1863 at the Paris Salon with two works, La Sieste and Repentir, but this first experience was a relative set. He met success in the following years and obtained a medal at the Salon of 1864 for Narcisse changed into Flower, the year in which he married first Louise Dietrich (born in 1843), of which he divorced on 1 July 1886. He won a medal at the Salon 1867 and 1868, and a third-class medal at the 1878 Universal Exhibition with several watercolours, including that of La Cigale et la Fourmi, noted by the New York Times. During the Franco-German War of 1870, Vibert joined the Seine riflemen. He was wounded at the Battle of Buzenval in October 1870, which earned him the Legion of Honor. In 1882 he was promoted to the rank of officer of the same order. In 1886, he was a member of the jury section Aquarelle-Pastel of the second International Exhibition of White and Black in Paris with Gustave Boulanger and Émile Lévy. Vibert presented his work at the Salon until 1899. He sent scenes of anecdotal eighteenth-century genre. His paintings—in a readily ironic tone—depicting cardinals in familiar situations, the vermilion stain of the cassock of his models attracting particular attention, earned him great success, this theme being then in fashion. The popularity of his work reached the United States where he sold his works at great prices, notably to John Jacob Astor IV and William Kissam Vanderbilt. A large collection of Vibert paintings is collected by Mary Louise Maytag, heiress of Elmer Henry Maytag, on behalf of the Bishop of Miami Coleman Carroll who appreciates them very much despite their accents of anticlericalism. The collection was donated to the Florida Seminary, St. John Vianney College Seminary. Jean-Georges Vibert is buried in Paris at the Père-Lachaise cemetery Fine Arts Resources: AGORHA Art Institute of Chicago Art - Bénézit Dictionay - Bridgeman Art Library - British Museum - Musée d'Orsay - Musée national du Victoria National Gallery of Art
