Jules Breton |
 |
| Born: 1827 - Died: 1906. |
| Breton was known as one of the first "peasant painters". He created beautiful scenes of rural French life and he was popular figure among the Salon artists of his era. Breton painted peasant women and men performing their daily activities.
Alma-Tadema’s life was one of great successes artistically and sadness in his private life.
During the second half of the 19th century, rewards and official decorations were heaped upon him, and his paintings were purchased by the emperor and also by collectors in America, Britain and Ireland.
However, Breton's work became eclipsed by the avant-garde movements of the 20th century, and he was, sadly forgotten.
Breton was influenced by his childhood and through his early training in Belgium and Paris, but possibly one of the most major influences on his career came from his stays in Brittany, where he became absorbed in the daily life of the peasant culture.
Jules Breton’s paintings reflect the artist's social and humanitarian concerns as well as his painterly abilities. |
