'''Jules Jacques Veyrassat''' (12 April 1828, [[Paris]] - 2 July 1893, Paris) was a French painter and engraver; associated with the [[Barbizon school]]. Most of his works feature animals.
== Biography ==
He studied in Paris with [[Henri Lehmann]] and exhibited his first works at the [[Salon (Paris)|Salon]] in 1848. He began to work as an engraver in the 1860s, after becoming associated with the and studying with [[Pierre Édouard Frère]]. It was, in fact, Frère and [[Charles-François Daubigny]] who encouraged him to take up that art.
Between 1866 and 1869, he was presented with several awards for his engravings. Later, he collaborated with the British art critic, [[Philip Gilbert Hamerton]], on two of his books devoted to the topic: ''Chapters on Animals'' (1874), with [[Karl Bodmer]], and the third edition of ''Etching and Etchers'' (1880), which featured the works of many notable artists, such as [[James Abbott McNeill Whistler]], [[Jozef Israëls]] and [[Alphonse Legros]]. He also produced engravings for a series of albums published by [[Alfred Cadart]].<ref>[https://ift.tt/2OJSZpw Notice], du Catalogue général de la BnF.</ref>
He was named a Knight in the [[Legion of Honor]] in 1878.<ref>[https://ift.tt/3dDPw3l Documentation] @ the [[Base Leonore]] (misspelled as "Veyrassal")</ref>
He was also associated with the [[Barbizon school]], two of whose members, [[Charles Jacque]] and [[Jean-François Millet]], had an influence on his style. As a result, his landscapes all depict some aspect of life in rural France. It would appear that he never travelled to any other countries.
He died in Paris and was interred at the [[Cimetière du Père-Lachaise]].<ref>Archives de Paris, état-civil numérisé du [[9th arrondissement of Paris|9e arrondissement de Paris]], acte de décès N°922 de l'année 1893. Le peintre meurt à son domicile situé numéro 7 Rue de Clichy.</ref>
His works may be seen at museums throughout France, as well as at the [[Manchester Art Gallery]], the [[De Young Museum]] in San Francisco, the [[Clark Art Institute]] in [[Williamstown, Massachusetts]] and the [[Walters Art Museum]] in Baltimore.
