Jean Béraud
Iconic painter of Parisian life during the Belle Époque
Key Facts & Expertise
Jean Béraud was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, with his twin sister Mélanie. His father, who was a sculptor, probably worked on the site of St. Isaac's Cathedral at that time. After his father's death in 1853, his mother, Geneviève Eugénie Jacquin, returned to Paris with her four children.
He was educated at the Lycée Bonaparte, then was a student of Léon Bonnat at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He exhibited for the first time at the Salon in 1872. In 1876, he achieved success with his painting "The Return of the Funeral" and, in 1878, he presented "Ballet Scene". He was awarded a 3rd medal in 1882 and a 2nd medal in 1883.
In 1883, he drew an illustration entitled "Le Viveur" for Jean-Louis Dubut de Laforest's play, "Le Rêve d 'un Viveur". This drawing was published in the collection of the play.
