Jean-Achille Benouville

Jean-Achille Benouville (15 July 1815 – 8 February 1891) was a French landscape painter known for his views of Italy.

Together with his younger brother, François-Léon, he was apprenticed to François-Édouard Picot and, later, to Léon Cogniet.

[2] In 1845, he was awarded the Prix de Rome for historic landscape painting for his work Ulysses and Nausicaa.

[2] As a result, he was able to make three trips to Italy; one in the company of Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot, with whom he shared a studio in Rome.

[1] After a stay of three years at the Villa Médicis, he decided to remain in Italy, although he continued to display his works at exhibitions in Paris.
