Élodie La Villette, born Elodie Jacquier (April 12, 1848 Strasbourg (Bas-Rhin) – 1917 Saint-Pierre-Quiberon), was a French painter.

[1] During the 1860s, the two sisters, Ella and Caroline Jacquier, took drawing classes with the painter Ernest Coroller at the Lycée Dupuy-de-Lôme.

[1] La Villette exhibited her work at the Palace of Fine Arts and The Woman's Building at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois.

Élodie La Villette, who received the advice of Jean-Baptiste Corot in 1874, carries off "marine art" sensitive to light effects which are reminiscent of both Courbet's realism and the virtuosity of Boudin".
