Jacques-François Ochard
Jacques-François Ochard (* 1800 in Saint-Valery-en-Caux , † 1870 ) was a French painter . Posterity will remember him as the first teacher of the young Oscar-Claude Monet .
Life
Ochard was a student of Jacques-Louis David . Two of his portraits were exhibited in the Paris Salon in 1835 and 1837 , as well as a landscape of Brittany in 1841 . He made two paintings for the church of Saint-François du Havre , including a homage to the Magi on a large canvas based on a work by Rubens in Antwerp . In Havre he worked as a drawing teacher at the city school, the most important private institutions and the university. Thanks to his teaching skills - he was especially known for his patience - he managed to arouse the interest of his students and to train a large number of students during his career, including the history painter Adolphe Yvon and Charles Lhullier , who portrayed Claude Monet in uniform in 1861.
In 1867 he replaced Adolphe-Hippolyte Couveley as curator at the Musée des Beaux Arts du Havre .
