Description

Realistic acrylic portrait painting of the French painter Jean Béraud, painted by the Dutch fine artist Paul Meijering - the original painting is 90 x 90 cm and available for purchase.

Jean Béraud (Saint Petersburg, January 12, 1849 - Paris, October 4, 1935) was a French impressionist painter.

Béraud's father (also Jean) was a sculptor by profession. Béraud's mother's name was Geneviève Eugenie Jacquin. After the death of Béraud's father, the family moved to Paris. Béraud was trained as a lawyer until the occupation of Paris during the Franco-Prussian War in 1870.

After the war, Béraud became a student of Léon Bonnat at the École des Beaux Arts for two years. His paintings were first exhibited at the Salon in 1872. But he did not gain recognition until 1876, with his On the Way Back from the Funeral.
Béraud's paintings often contained truth-based humor and a mockery of late 19th-century Parisian life, along with frequent appearances of Biblical figures in contemporary situations. His paintings, such as Mary Magdalene in the House of the Pharisees, aroused controversy when they were exhibited.

Toward the end of the 19th century, Béraud devoted less time to painting, but he worked on numerous committees of exhibitions, including the Salon de la Société Nationale which he, along with Auguste Rodin, Jean-Louis Ernest Meissonier and Puvis de Chavannes had founded. Béraud never married and had no children. He is buried in Montparnasse Cemetery, next to his mother and twin sister.
