Biography

His family was originally from Italy. He began as a student of the history painter, Claude Soulary  [ fr ], then worked in the studios of Léon Cogniet at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His first exhibit at the Salon came in 1869, with a series of genre scenes and portraits.

By the 1880s, he had abandoned those subjects and was devoting himself entirely to landscapes. He quickly developed a preference for Auvergne and the south of France; areas that would remain his favorites for the rest of his life. While working there, he became a close friend of François Nardi, another French artist of Italian ancestry, who encouraged him to use the original form of his family name.[ citation needed ]

He benefitted from several major government purchases, in 1880, 1891 and 1913. After being awarded several second and third class medals, he was the recipient of a silver medal at the Exposition Universelle (1889) and a gold medal at the Exposition Universelle (1900). He was named a Knight in the Legion of Honor in 1893. [1]

His works may be seen at the Musée d'Évreux  [ fr ], Musée des Beaux-Arts de Marseille, Musée d'Art Moderne André Malraux, Musée Baron Gérard  [ fr ] and the Musée Gassendi  [ fr ].

Julien Le Blant French painter (1851–1936)

Julien Le Blant was a French painter of military subjects who specialized in the scenes of the Vendée Wars of 1793–1799 that occurred during the French Revolution. Because he came from a family from the Bas-Poitou, part of the old province of Poitou, Le Blant was descended from the French "Blancs" who had opposed the French Revolution and was thus in sympathy with those who rose up and formed the Grand Catholic Army of the Vendée. He spent his artistic career commemorating the events of the rebellion in large works that were exhibited in the annual Paris Salon. Le Blant was a much honored painter and he won a Bronze Medal at the Salon in 1878, a Silver Medal in 1880 and a Gold Medal at the 1889 Exposition Universelle, the Paris World's Fair that commemorated the centennial of the beginning of the French Revolution. Le Blant was also a prolific illustrator, contributing more than five hundred illustrations to dozens of books. Le Blant's last major accomplishment was a large series of drawings, watercolors and paintings of French soldiers on their way home from and departing to the front during the First World War. His work is in a number of public collections, but primarily in France because the subjects he specialized in did not command great popularity abroad.
