3A8 Who was Jules Joseph Lefebvre?

Born in 1836 in Tournan-en-Brie, Jules Joseph Lefebvre established himself as one of the most brilliant representatives of French academic painting of the 19th century. A student of Léon Cogniet at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, he won the Prix de Rome in 1861, marking the beginning of a prestigious career within the most demanding artistic circles.

Member of the Academy of Fine Arts, renowned professor at the Paris School of Fine Arts, Lefebvre trained many artists and helped perpetuate the tradition of rigorous art, based on the harmony of forms, mastery of light, and idealized representation of the human body, especially the female form.

His regular participation in the Paris Salon strengthened his reputation: Jules Joseph Lefebvre became a sought-after portraitist, especially for his ethereal nymphs, his allegorical figures, and his compositions with poetic realism, imbued with restrained sensuality and pictorial nobility.

58B Today, his work fascinates with its balance between sensuality and classicism, between academic rigor and emotional delicacy.
