_Jules Dupré_ (French: 1812-1889).
Dupré, the last of the romantic school of French landscape, the
friend and the survivor by many years of Millet and Rousseau,
was born at Nantes. He began by painting on china, in the
studio at Sèvres of his uncle, Arsène Gillet, to whom also Diaz
was at one time apprenticed. At the age of 22 he was already
exhibiting at the Salon; and unlike other members of the group,
he was well treated by the artistic powers of the day. During a
visit to England he became acquainted with Constable. He lived
at Isle-Adam near Paris.
