Georges Louis Claude was born in Paris in 1879. The artist first studied at the Bernard Palissy School of Drawing in Paris. There he learned mythological and religious subjects, the art of portraiture, still life and of course, wall decoration, which became his favourite medium.
His career began as an architectural decorator for the Galland house in Paris. He then collaborated with the orientalist architect Alexandre Marcel. Noticed at the
at the 1900 Universal Exhibition, he decided to emancipate himself and presented his
his own projects. It was at this time that Georges-Louis laude was to seduce some of the most influential personalities of their time with his talent.
First of all King Leopold II of Belgium, followed immediately by Baron Empain became infatuated with the artist to decorate palaces and flats.
In Belgium, Georges-Louis Claude was chosen to decorate the Royal Palace of Laeken (Japanese Tower and Chinese pavilion). Baron Empain, takes him to Egypt, where he decorates Heliopolis, and the Palace Hotel (current seat of the Egyptian presidency) in a pharaonic project without equivalent at the time. Unfortunately, the war put a stop to hishis meteoric rise. In 1917, back from the front, wounded, his new projects will be more Parisian. He decorated, among other things, the chapel of the dead in the Saint François-Xavier church in Paris and Gambetta's urn in the Pantheon. These worksites made him rediscover the art of stained glass, which became one of his favourite media.
He presented numerous projects, always renewing this art of fire. He was awarded the grand prize for stained glass at the International Exhibition of Decorative Arts in 1925.
He collaborated with the greatest, including Jacques Gruber. The master glassworkers Chigot, Dagrant and Balmet were close friends of his. Finally, he successfully tried his hand at ceramics. The manufacture of Sèvres is one of his main clients and he was responsible for numerous models and decorations. He received state orders and was awarded the grand prize for ceramics at the French Exhibition in Cairo in 1929. Thereafter, he never stopped drawing and painting.
He settled in Brittany in the Vannes region, then in Provence, and finally settling permanently in the Paris region. From 1923 to 1938, he was a teacher at the School of Applied Arts in Paris. His pupils included the future master glass artist Paul Bonny and the poster artist Hervé Morvan.
He died in 1963 in Montmorency (Val d'Oise)
In 1992, the Cairo cultural centre devoted a major retrospective to him, the exhibition "the three Orients of Georges-Louis Claude".

- 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
