Hippolyte Lety was born on January 24, 1878 in Vienne, Isère. Despite a career as a professor at the Beaux-Arts in Tourcoing in the North, the artist remained very attached to Isère where he retired. His training was most solid; from the initiation of Antoine-Christian Zacharie dit Tony Zac (1819 - 1899) to Alexandre François Bonnardel (1867 - 1942) at the Beaux-Arts in Lyon, and finally in Paris, with Luc-Olivier Merson (1846 - 1920) , Léon Bonnat (1833 - 1922) and Ferdinand Humbert (1842 - 1934). The artist won a medal at the Salons (1908, 1926) and received the Raigecourt-Goyon prize in 1925.
Hippolyte Léty painted his city of Vienne, the banks of the Rhône but also the mountains and the Mediterranean. He died in 1959 at the age of 81.
