Artist Biography

Born in Paris in 1835, Jules Félix Ragot was a student of Jean Murat (1807-1863) and François-Edouard Picot (1786-1868). He began at the Salon of 1867. A portrait- and genre-painter with a preference for still lifes, he was part of a traditional realist movement with post-Impressionist influence. Ragot was very famous in Belgium during his lifetime since he was the tutor of Queen Marie-Henriette. King Leopold II of Belgium acquired several of his works. He died in Brussels in 1912.
