Edmond Jean de Pury

Baron Edmond Jean de Pury (6 March 1845 – 7 November 1911) was a Swiss painter and engraver.

[1][2] He was a member of a Prussian noble family and was a nephew of James-Ferdinand de Pury.

Another student, Paul Milliet, wrote of the image in his memoirs: "The fragment…shows the athletic torso of…de Pury.

Alfred Lenglet's painting is solid and luminous, but to render completely the elegant vigor of the model would have required the chisel of a Greek sculptor.

[2][6][7] He was best known for his Italalian figure paintings, mainly of working-class people of Rome, Capri, and Venice.
