Biography: Jean Francois Raffaelli received his artistic training at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, where he enrolled in order to study under the great French painter Jean-Leon Gerome. He remained exclusively a painter until 1876 when he did his first etching. From this time on he was passionately devoted to printmaking, experimenting extensively with color etching. Raffaelli was a great friend of the Impressionists, particularly Edgar Degas, Camille Pissarro, and Mary Cassatt. But bitter quarrels with Degas, and his own growing success in the Salon, eventually caused him to move away from that group, and more and more into the world of the official art establishment. However, he did remain on good terms with Cassatt and Pissarro, artists who shared his love of color etching. He was basically an Impressionist and remained true to the subjects he knew best, such as the suburbs of Paris, the landscapes and villages along the Seine, and the animals of the countryside.
