CREATORS

* Émile Jacque (French, 1848–1912)  - artist
The animal painter and landscapist Émile Jacque belonged to a family of artists that included his paternal uncle, Léon (b. 1828), and his brother, Frédéric (b. 1859). The three followed Émile's and Frédéric's father, Barbizon printmaker and painter Charles-Émile Jacque (q.v.). Émile and Frédéric received their academic training in the ateliers of Gérôme (q.v.) and Alexandre Cabanel (1823-1889), respectively. Continuing their father's interest in animals, Émile favored scenes of horses in the country, while his younger brother seems to have specialized in cows at pasture. Émile began exhibiting at the Salon in 1885. Though his fame never matched that of his father, he did receive honorable mention at the 1889 Exposition Universelle and a third-class medal at the 1901 Salon. In 1908 his works were exhibited at the Galerie Georges Petit.
