A French artist born in Nantes, Jacques Patissou entered the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1899, joining the studios of Aimé Morot, François Flameng, and Fernand Cormon. He received an honorable mention at the Prix Troyon in 1903 and was a finalist for the Prix de Rome in painting in 1905 and 1908. He received the Prix Chenavard for his painting Jacob and the Angel (Nantes, Musée d'Arts).
He exhibited regularly at the Salon des Artistes Français, primarily still lifes and portraits. Severely wounded during the First World War, he resumed his career at the end of the conflict, receiving several major decorative commissions: he created sets for the Caisse d'Epargne in Nantes and for the Graslin theater in Nantes. He produced the illustrations for an edition of Gabriel Hanotaux's *Histoire de la nation française*, published in 1920. After the war, he also devoted himself to teaching, becoming a drawing professor at the Saint-Cyr Military Academy, then at the École Polytechnique. In 1924, the Georges-Petit gallery in Paris dedicated an exhibition to him.
He did not have time to complete the commissioned decoration for the ceiling of the grand staircase in the Levallois-Perret town hall: he died in 1925 from injuries sustained during the war, and it was the painter André Herviault who executed this final decoration (an allegory of Liberty), faithfully respecting Patissou's sketch.
