Jean Béraud
Jean Béraud (born January 12, 1849 in Saint Petersburg; died
October 4, 1935 in Paris) was a French oil painting artist. His
father was a sculptor and was likely working on the site of St.
Isaac's Cathedral at the time of his son's birth. The young Béraud,
a student of Léon Bonnat, exhibited his paintings at the Salon for
the first time in 1872, but he only gained some recognition in
1876, with his oil painting On the W ay Back from the Funeral. He
exhibited with the Society of French Watercolorists at the 1889
World's Fair in Paris. He painted many scenes of Parisian daily
life during the Belle Époque, in a style that stands somewhere
between the academic art of the Salon and that of the
Impressionists. He received the Légion d'honneur in 1894.
