Jules Jacques Veyrassat, born April 12, 1828, in Paris and died July 2, 1893, in the same city, was a French painter and engraver of the Barbizon School.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jules Jacques Veyrassat studied in Henri Lehmann's workshop in Paris and exhibited his first works at the Salon in 1848.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Veyrassat made a name for himself in France with his paintings and attracted attention when he began working as an engraver in the 1860s.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Between 1866 and 1869, his engraving work earned him several medals. The British scholar Philip Gilbert Hamerton asked him to collaborate on several of his books on the art of engraving: Chapters on Animals (1874) with Karl Bodmer, Etching and Etchers (1880), and a third edition with other artists.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He received a medal for his painting in 1872.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Veyrassat was named Chevalier de la L\u00e9gion d'Honneur in 1878. He is one of the most awarded painters and engravers for his work on nature.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He was associated with the Ecouen school, where he had a room, and attended classes given by Pierre-Edouard Fr\u00e8re, whom he befriended. It was Pierre-Edouard Fr\u00e8re and Charles-Fran\u00e7ois Daubigny who encouraged him to take up etching.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He is also associated with the Barbizon school. His work is close to that of Charles Jacque and Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Millet, whom he knew well. In a realist vein, his work is based on observations of rural life in deepest France at the time. His subjects include breeding and the work of horses in agricultural life. He never left his homeland, but his reputation spread throughout Europe.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jules Jacques Veyrassat died on July 2, 1893, in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, and is buried in the P\u00e8re Lachaise cemetery (44th division).<\/p>\n
