JULES-JOSEPH LEFEBVRE (1836-1911)

Lefebvre, born at Tournan, France on March 14, 1836, was a teacher at the Academie Julian, a favorite of many American art students (along with Boulanger, his colleague).  At the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Lefebvre studied under Léon Cogniet (1794-1880), the teacher of Laurens and Bonnat. 

Lefebvre's Death of Priam won the Prix de Rome in 1861, and he began a lifelong specialization in the female nude in 1866 with Nymph and Bacchus. The French government purchased La Vérité (Truth) in 1870 (Musée d'Orsay, Paris), a cold, expressionless standing nude carrying a beacon, in imitation of Ingres' La Source (see Weinberg, 1991, p. 231).  Gammell (1986) described how Edmund Tarbell reacted to La Vérité.  The Boston painter wondered how this talented artist could create such a "chalky nude."  Gammell explained that he wanted a symbolic figure with calculated color and generalized forms.
