Julien Gustave Gaillardin, known as Julien Gustave Gagliardini (1 March 1846, Mulhouse - 28 November 1927, Paris) was a French Impressionist landscape painter and engraver.
Biography
[edit]His family was originally from Italy. He began as a student of the history painter, Claude Soulary , then worked in the studios of Léon Cogniet at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His first exhibit at the Salon came in 1869, with a series of genre scenes and portraits.
By the 1880s, he had abandoned those subjects and was devoting himself entirely to landscapes. He quickly developed a preference for Auvergne and the south of France; areas that would remain his favorites for the rest of his life. While working there, he became a close friend of François Nardi, another French artist of Italian ancestry, who encouraged him to use the original form of his family name.[citation needed]
He benefitted from several major government purchases, in 1880, 1891 and 1913. After being awarded several second and third class medals, he was the recipient of a silver medal at the Exposition Universelle (1889) and a gold medal at the Exposition Universelle (1900). He was named a Knight in the Legion of Honor in 1893.[1]
His works may be seen at the Musée d'Évreux , Musée des Beaux-Arts de Marseille, Musée d'Art Moderne André Malraux, Musée Baron Gérard and the Musée Gassendi .
