Constant Joseph Brochart, born April 7, 1816 in Pecq (province of Hainaut ) and died May 5, 1899 in Paris 17th , was a French painter of figure compositions, typical subjects and portraits.
He studied at the École des beaux-arts in Lille, then came to Paris, where he exhibited at various salons between 1845 and 1862. A very reserved figure, little is known about him apart from the works we know about him.
With his sparkling colors, he treated subjects as varied as Bacchanales - La Vierge aux roses - La biche blessée - Le baiser du soleil and Oriental scenes, including Souvenirs d'Alger - L'oracle de Kabylie, and numerous worldly portraits such as that of Christine Nilson, of the Théâtre lyrique impérial.
The Musée de Lille holds a canvas by the painter.
