Jules Bastien-Lepage (1848-1884)
French painter Jules Bastien-Lepage was born in the village of Damvillers, Meuse, on the 1st of November 1848 and spent his childhood there.
He first studied at Verdun, and prompted by a love of art went in 1867 to Paris, where he was admitted to the École des Beaux-arts, working under Cabanel.
In 1880 he exhibited a small portrait of M. Andrieux and Joan Of Arc listening to the Voices; and in the same year, at the Royal Academy, the little portrait of the Prince of Wales.
