Jules Frédéric Ballavoine (1842–1914) was a French painter and draughtsman. He painted portraits, landscapes, genre and historical scenes and nudes.[1] According to the Benezit Dictionary of Artists, "He painted conventional historical themes, but his genre painting is freer and more intimate in style."[2]

Life

edit

The birth date of Jules Frédéric Ballavoine has long been debated. According to the Livre d'or du Salon of 1880, he was born in Paris in 1842.[3] Other sources give the later date of 1855,[2] although this is incompatible with the fact that he exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1865.

Ballavoine studied under Isidore Pils at the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris, and afterwards produced nature studies. He fought in the Franco-Prussian War.[1]

He was a member of the Société des Artistes Français. He last exhibited at the Salon in 1911, less than three years before his death in 1914 at the age of 71. Some sources give the earlier death date of 1901.[2]
