|
| | French realist painter, sculptor, and printmaker Jean-François Raffaëlli was born on April 20, 1850 in Paris. He became a painter in 1870 after a career in the theater. That same year, one of his paintings was accepted into the prestigious Salon in Paris. He was invited by Degas to show with the Impressionists in the exhibitions of 1880 and 1881, where he dominated with 37 pieces. Most of his paintings portray people, starting initially with costume pieces, and later focusing on the poverty seen in Paris. His formal training does not extend beyond a three-month program with Jean-Léon Gérôme at Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Currently his paintings are displayed in museums all over the world including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Musee d’Orsay, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. | | Works Cited: | | en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-François_Raffaëlli |
