Biography
Berne-Bellecour was born on 29 June 1838 in Boulogne, France. He studied under François-Édouard Picot and Félix-Joseph Barrias.[1] He initially painted landscapes and portraits.[2][3] He worked in photography to support himself while he studied.[4] He also attended the École des Beaux-Arts and competed for the Prix de Rome in 1859.[5]
Berne-Bellecour, along with his brother-in-law Jehan Georges Vibert, produced a comedic play titled "La Tribune Mécanique"[1] which was performed at the Palais Royal in 1862.[6] He showcased his works at several Salon's in the 1860s and later.[1]
He won a recompense for photography at the Universal Exposition of 1867.[4] In 1868, Vibert encouraged Berne-Bellecour to devote himself entirely to painting.
Berne-Bellecour, Vibert, Alexander Louis Leloir, and Édouard Detaille went on a trip to Africa in 1870, later returning to serve in the Franco-Prussian War.[3]
Berne-Bellecour served in the francs-tireurs[7] and won a medal for gallantry under fire. His later works focused on military subjects.[4]
He also practiced as a sculptor and an etcher. He was named a Chevalier in the French Legion of Honor in 1878.[4][7][8]
His son Jean-Jacques Berne-Bellecour (1874–1939) was also a military painter.[9]
He died in Paris on November 29, 1910.
