Bastien Lepage Jules Wiki
Bastien Lepage Jules (November 1, 1848 – December 10, 1884) , also called Jules Bastien-Lepage was a French naturalist painter,
Jules Bastien-Lepage's first teacher was his father, himself an artist.[1] His first formal training was at Verdun, and prompted by a love of art he went to Paris in 1867, where he was admitted to the École des Beaux-arts, working under Cabanel. He was awarded first place for drawing but spent most of his time working alone, only occasionally appearing in class. Nevertheless, he completed three years at the école.[1] In a letter to his parents, he complained that the life model was a man in the pose of a mediaeval lutanist.[2] After exhibiting in the Salons of 1870 and 1872 works which attracted no attention, in 1874 he made his mark with his Song of Spring, a study of rural life, representing a peasant girl sitting on a knoll looking down on a village. His Portrait of my Grandfather, exhibited in the same year, was not less remarkable for its artless simplicity and received a third-class medal.
