Jules Bastien-Lepage (1848-1884) is a French painter from the Meuse, one of the great representatives of the realist movement in painting. He mainly painted portraits and rural genre scenes bathed in a cold and clear light. He was a student of Alexandre Cabanel (1823-1889).
In 1878 he painted the portrait of Madame Godillot, kept at the Bastien-Lepage Museum in Montmédy. This still life, a very rare subject in Lepage's work, was probably painted for the Godillot couple, wealthy merchants for whom Bastien-Lepage created several works. In 2007, the Musée d'Orsay dedicated a major monographic retrospective to him.
