NOTICE
Jules Dehaussy was introduced to painting by his brother Auguste Dehaussy, founder of a small art academy in Péronne. He later became a pupil of the painter Théophile Fragonard. A portrait, history and genre painter, he made his debut at the Salon in 1836, where he was awarded a third-class medal, and produced works such as Les derniers Moments de Rembrandt, Jeune Fille turque à la fontaine, La Lettre and La Nymphe Écho, notably for the galleries of the Château de Versailles.
After the 1848 Revolution, as commissions became scarcer, he moved to England. He regularly took part in exhibitions at the Royal Academy in London with a series of miniature portraits and, in 1851, with two history paintings that established his reputation.
Jules Dehaussy returned to Paris in 1852. He exhibited at the Salon until 1890, submitting historically-inspired genre scenes, portraits and religious subjects that met with great success with the public.
He took part in the Ghent Salons of 1853 and 1865, the Porto Salon of 1865 and the first Munich Salon of Fine Arts in 1869.
