[Jules Aviat, Jules-Charles Aviat]
Pupil of:
| E. Hebert, Leon Bonnat, and Lafrance |
Jules Aviat was born at Brienne-le-Chateau, in the Department of Aube, and is a pupil of E. Hebert,
Leon Bonnat, and Lafrance. His female portraits are especially esteemed, although he is also strong in
male portraiture. His imaginative pictures are always graceful, refined, decorative
in treatment, and charmingly delicate in color. "A Revelation" is a typical work. In it a young Girl
girl, contemplating herself in a hand-mirror, arrives for the first time at the conclusion that she is
as beautiful as she has wished herself to be.
