Gustave Jean Jacquet in 1846 he was a French painter of portraits and watercolours. Born in Paris, Jacquet remained in the city throughout his career. Jacquet was a pupil of Bouguereau and he admired his tutor so much he never sought another. Consequently, Jacquet’s early work was influenced by that of Bouguereau. In 1865, Jacquet made his debut at the Salon with an allegory entitled La Rêverie. The following year he submitted paintings detailing life in the 16th, 17th and 18th Century which were small in dimension. At the same time he began to paint portraits and he sometimes put his subjects in the period costume of the 16th Century. Jacquet also painted portraits of children and genre scenes. In 1875 Jacquet was awarded a medal of excellence and was made a Chevalier de la Légion d’honneur in 1879. Jacquet’s artistic career was very successful and he produced many fine paintings. I absolutely love the first painting. Thats what drew my attention to his name. Which painting do you like the best? Give it a *like*! - Anna
