François-Auguste Biard, a French painter whose work was often inspired by his adventurous travels, shines out in the history of 19th century art. Born in Lyon on June 29, 1799, he began his artistic career away from the planned clerical career his parents had in mind for him. Instead, he found his passion in painting, beginning in a wallpaper factory in Lyon.
Biard's talent and perseverance enabled him to study at the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts. There he studied first under Pierre Révoil and later under Fleury François Richard. Despite his formal training, Biard is often described as "self-taught," as he acquired many of his skills and developed his style on his own. His artistic career was distinguished by numerous travels that influenced his works. He traveled to Italy, Greece, and the Middle East and first exhibited his work at the Salon in 1824. His travels also took him to Malta, Cyprus and Egypt. He later received support from the July Monarchy, which acquired several of his works.
Biard made probably his most remarkable trip in 1839, when he took part in a scientific expedition to Spitsbergen and Lapland. He was accompanied by his fiancée, the writer Léonie d'Aunet, whose account of the trip was later published. The sketches Biard made on this trip served as inspiration for large panels in the National Museum of Natural History. However, Biard's private life was not without scandal. After marrying Léonie in 1840, she became Victor Hugo's mistress three years later. When the two were caught in a hotel in 1845, she was arrested for adultery, while Hugo was released due to his inviolability as a member of the Chamber of Couples.
In the late 1850s, Biard spent two years in Brazil, working at the court of Emperor Pedro II. Despite an offer to take a teaching position at the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts, he preferred to continue traveling and returned to France via North America. His travel experiences in Brazil were published in 1862 in a book of 180 engravings. Biard, who died in Samois-sur-Seine on June 20, 1882, was a master storyteller through his art. His paintings, often humorous and anecdotal, were popular with salon visitors and today offer a unique insight into the customs and traditions of his time.
