Jules Dupré
A renowned 19th-century landscape painter and founder of the School of Modern French Landscape Painting, Jules Dupré came from an old family in L'Isle-Adam. He was born in Nantes on April 5, 1811, into his mother’s family.
In 1815, his father, François Dupré, owner of earthenware factories in Creil and Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche, in the canton of Limoges, opened a new porcelain factory in Parmain. From the age of 15, Jules decorated plates inspired by the region’s flora.
François Dupré, appointed to manage a porcelain factory in Limoges, moved his family there. There, Jules learned from his father all the techniques of porcelain making and plate decoration, but he was drawn to painting from life.
Thus, he enrolled at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. To round out his training, he took classes in the studio of Jean-Michel Diéboldt, whose work bridges the styles of David, Géricault, and Delacroix.
Jules Dupré became associated with the Barbizon School: Cabat, Paul Huet, Troyon, Flers, and Théodore Rousseau, with whom he undertook numerous trips throughout France in search of rural landscapes.
At age 20, he was accepted into the Salon.
In 1831, he exhibited “A View of L’Isle-Adam” and “A Farmyard.” He met Lord Graves, who introduced him to the landscapes of England.
In 1833, the banks of the Oise and the Montmorency Valley inspired him. In 1835, the Salon established his reputation.
In 1841, he moved with Rousseau to Montsoult. Having a little money, in October 1845, he rented a studio in L'Isle-Adam across from the church, on the corner of the Grande Rue.
In 1847, he was made a Knight of the Legion of Honor, which led to a falling-out with his friend Rousseau.
In 1860, he married Stéphanie-Augustine Moreau, the daughter of an architect, in Champagne-sur-Oise.
In 1870, Jules Dupré was promoted to Officer of the Legion of Honor. Two years later, he bought a house in L'Isle-Adam, near the Place du Pâtis, large enough to entertain his friends: Corot, Daubigny, Rousseau, Boulard, Geoffroy-Dechaume, and Daumier. He had a large studio built in the attic, from which he had a breathtaking view of the Oise River.
The 1889 World’s Fair cemented Jules Dupré’s reputation. Suffering from kidney stones, he had to undergo surgery. However, he did not recover from the procedure and died in L’Isle-Adam on October 6, 1889, where he was buried.
On June 30, 1890, his studio was sold. In July 1894, the town of L'Isle-Adam, along with the painter’s admirers and friends, erected a memorial to him at the corner of Rue Mellet and Place du Pâtis.
Jules Dupré's house was demolished around 1900. A street in L'Isle-Adam that leads to the Oise River—a source of inspiration for some of his works—bears his name today.
Many French museums, as well as major international museums such as the Hermitage in Saint Petersburg, exhibit his works.
