Blaise Alexandre Desgoffe studied from October 7, 1852 at the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris with Hippolyte Flandrin and later with William Bouguereau .

From 1870 he also painted the works of Chinese, Japanese or Greek handicrafts. He exhibited at the Salon de Paris from 1857 to 1882 and won a third class medal in 1861 and a second class medal in 1863. In 1878 he was awarded the Legion of Honor.
