(born Jan. 14, 1836, Grenoble, Fr.—died Aug. 25, 1904, Buré) French painter and printmaker. He was trained by his father, a portrait painter, and at the École des Beaux-Arts. Though he associated with progressive artists (Gustave Courbet, Eugène Delacroix, Édouard Manet), he was a traditionalist best known for his portraits and still lifes with flowers. His portrait groups, reminiscent of 17th-century Dutch guild portraits, depict literary and artistic persons of the time; his flower paintings were especially popular in England, thanks to James McNeill Whistler and John Everett Millais, who found patrons to support him. His later years were devoted to lithography.
