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.
