Guillaume Dubufe

Guillaume Édouard Marie Dubufe (16 May 1853, Paris – 25 May 1909, at sea, near Buenos Aires) was a French painter, decorator and illustrator.

As might be expected, he received his first art lessons from his father, then pursued his studies at the École des Beaux-Arts under Alexis-Joseph Mazerolle.

During the 1890s, he decorated the ceilings of the Lobau Gallery at the Hôtel de Ville, the banquet hall at the Élysée Palace[3] and the library at the Sorbonne.

Four years later, he was one of several artists who provided decorations for Le Train Bleu, a famous restaurant near the Gare de Lyon.

[clarification needed] His friend, the sculptor Albert Bartholomé provided the bas-relief for his memorial at Père Lachaise cemetery.
