| biography:
| Painter, pastellist, and printmaker, born in Grenoble, E France. He studied under Courbet at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and became a frequent exhibitor at the Salon (1861–99). He was a friend of Whistler and Monet, exhibiting with the latter at the Salon des Refusés (1863). Inspired by the music of Berlioz and Wagner, he was a popular portraitist, and gained financial success by his paintings of flowers, such as ‘Roses in a Glass Jug’ (1889, Musée Des Beaux-Arts, Lyon). In his later years he specialized in lithography. |
