Jules Cayron
1868–1944 (age 76)
Biography
Born in 1868, Jules Cayron devoted himself to painting that conveyed the shifting moods of both city and countryside, drawing on academic discipline while remaining sensitive to individual light and gesture.
The calm lyricism of his canvases and their attempt to bridge 19th-century tradition with the emerging voices of modernism keep him in the company of artists commemorated in Père Lachaise.
