Hippolyte Léty was born on January 24, 1878, in Vienne, Isère. Despite a career as a professor at the École des Beaux-Arts in Tourcoing in northern France, the artist remained very attached to Isère, where he retired.
His training was of the highest caliber; From his early training with Antoine-Christian Zacharie, known as Tony Zac (1819-1899), to his studies with Alexandre François Bonnardel (1867-1942) at the École des Beaux-Arts in Lyon, and finally in Paris under Luc-Olivier Merson (1846-1920), Léon Bonnat (1833-1922), and Ferdinand Humbert (1842-1934), Hippolyte Léty received medals at the Salons (1908, 1926) and the Raigecourt-Goyon Prize in 1925.
He painted his city of Vienne, the banks of the Rhône, as well as the mountains and the Mediterranean. He died in 1959 at the age of 81.
