Born in Paris on April 20, 1894, Jean Jannel is an emblematic figure of French painting at the beginning of the 20th century. A student of Luc Olivier Merson at the École Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Jannel was able to mark his era with a distinctive style, imbued with sensitivity and finesse. His work has been regularly exhibited at the Salons des Artistes Français and the Salons des Indépendants, attesting to his recognition and influence in the art world.
Jean Jannel is particularly known for his paintings of femininity. He found his primary inspiration in his own wife, who was his exclusive model. This intimate and artistic relationship allowed Jannel to capture a profound essence of femininity, going beyond mere representation to achieve a true expression of the feminine soul. His works reveal a softness and grace that touch the heart of the observer, blending delicate nuances with impressive technical mastery.
As a member of the Cercle des Peintres des Deux-Monts, Jannel was actively involved in the Parisian artistic community. Located at 13 boulevard Malesherbes, near the Madeleine church, this circle offered a meeting and exhibition space for artists from Montmartre and Montparnasse. Within this group, Jannel rubbed shoulders with renowned artists such as Raymond Besse, Robert Falcucci, Pierre Bogdanoff, and Joseph Crozes, among others. This interaction with his contemporaries undoubtedly enriched his work, allowing him to evolve in a stimulating environment conducive to artistic innovation.
The dimensions of one of his typical works are 81 cm in length and 46 cm in height. These dimensions reveal a certain intimacy, allowing the observer to immerse themselves in the details and subtlety of the composition. Each painting is an invitation to discover a delicate universe, where light and shadows play harmoniously to bring the subjects represented to life.
