Pascal Dagnan-Bouveret

Pascal-Adolphe-Jean Dagnan-Bouveret (7 January 1852 – 3 July 1929) was a French painter, one of the leading members of the naturalist school.

He was born in Paris, the son of a tailor,[1] and was raised by his grandfather after his father emigrated to Brazil.

From the 1880s Dagnan-Bouveret along with Gustave Courtois, maintained a studio in Neuilly-sur-Seine, a fashionable suburb of Paris.

A number of his pictures were purchased by the British art collector George McCulloch, including The Madonna and Child 1880, Dans Le Foret, and a copy of La Cene (The Last Supper).

They met during their studies in Paris in the 1870s and were part of the artist circle around Jules Bastien-Lepage together with Gustave Courtois, among others.
