Jacques-Eugène Feyen
Jacques-Eugène Feyen (born November 13, 1815 in Bey-sur-Seille , † July 24, 1908 in Paris ) was a French genre painter and photographer.
Jacques-Eugène Feyen was born the son of a tax collector. His younger brother Augustin Feyen-Perrin also became a painter. Feyen studied from 1837 at the École des beaux-arts de Paris with Paul Delaroche .
He then learned photography, but his main occupation was painting. He exhibited from 1841 to 1848 and from 1861 in the Salon of the Société des Artistes Français , where he received medals in 1866 and 1880. In 1881 he was awarded the Legion of Honor.
Jacques-Eugène Feyen spent the summer months in the Breton town of Cancale in the northwest of the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel, where he painted landscapes with scenes from the life of the oystercatchers.
His copy of the Mona Lisa replaced the work stolen from the Louvre in Paris from 1911 to 1913 .
He rests in the same grave as his brother, who died in 1888, in the Paris cemetery in Montmartre.
