Jules Joseph Lefebvre (✦14 March 1836 – †24 February 1911) was a French painter, educator and theorist.
Early life
Lefebvre was born in Tournan-en-Brie, Seine-et-Marne, on 14 March 1836. He entered the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in 1852 and was a pupil of Léon Cogniet.
Career
He won the prestigious Prix de Rome for his painting The Death of Priam in 1861. Between 1855 and 1898, he exhibited 72 portraits at the Paris Salon. Many of his works feature single figures of beautiful women. Among the portraits he is considered best known for are those of M. L. Reynaud and the Prince Imperial (1874). In 1891, he became a member of the French Académie des Beaux-Arts.
He was a professor at the Académie Julian in Paris. Lefebvre is chiefly important as an excellent and sympathetic teacher who counted many Americans among his more than 1500 pupils. Among his famous students were Fernand Khnopff, Kenyon Cox, Félix Vallotton, Ernst Friedrich von Liphart, Georges Rochegrosse, the Scottish-born landscape painter William Hart, Walter Lofthouse Dean, and Edmund C. Tarbell, who became an American Impressionist painter. Another pupil was the miniaturist Alice Beckington, as well as Laura Leroux-Revault, the daughter of his friend Louis Hector Leroux. Jules Benoit-Lévy entered his workshop at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts.
Lefebvre passed away in Paris on February 24, 1911, and was laid to rest in Montmartre Cemetery, where his grave features a bas-relief depiction of his painting La Vérité.

Notes
- ↑ Diana Surprised (French: Diane surprise) is an 1879 oil painting by Jules Joseph Lefebvre.[1][2] It depicts Diana and her attendants trying to cover themselves are being surprised while bathing naked. Lefebvre didn't feel it was complete in time for the Exposition Universelle of 1878, but it was featured at the Salon of 1879 at the Louvre in Paris. Today it is in the collection of the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Argentina.
