Jules Joseph Lefebvre - Paintings

Jules Joseph Lefebvre was a recognized French painter of Neoclassicalism. He was highly esteemed at the Paris Salons for his women's portraits.
Born: 14 March 1836 in Tournan-en-Brie
Died: 24 February 1912 in Paris
Jules Joseph Lefebvre has himself educated both at the Paris Ecole de Beaux-Arts and by the neoclassical painter Léon Cogniet. His painting “Death of Priamus” allows him to travel to Rome and further refine his style through the study of Italian artists, especially the Mannerist painters. Already in the 1850s, he tries to settle down as a portraitist in Paris, by sending paintings to the Paris Salons again and again, which are, however, initially rejected by the jury. It is not until 1870 that Lefebvre can make a name for himself with the exhibition of the painting “Truth”, which exemplarily demonstrates his special talent for presenting naked women in a smooth, academically appropriate way. Disguised behind the mask of ancient goddesses, he is, like many other painter colleagues of his time, able to realize female nudes without letting them appear wicked or banal.
