Jean Broc
Jean Broc (born December 16, 1771 in Montignac , † 1850 in Lopatyn ) was a French portrait and history painter.
Jean Broc was used by the revolutionary armies in 1793 and took part in the Vendée War . At the end of 1797 he became a student in Jacques-Louis David's studio . In his studio he became a member of the artist group "Barbus". He left David's studio before 1801.
At the Salon de Paris of 1800 he presented the "School of Apelles" (Paris, Louvre), a work that became the manifesto of the group of Barbus or "thinkers" or "primitives".
The following year he exhibited the “Death of Hyacinthus” in the salon (Poitiers, Musée St. Croix), another aesthetic manifesto of the primitive.
He later received a number of official commissions (including, in 1805, a portrait of Marshal Nicolas Jean-de-Dieu Soult for the Salon des Maréchaux in the Palais des Tuileries ).
From 1814 he gave drawing lessons. Guillaume Bodinier (1795–1872) was one of his students .
His daughter Marie-Louise-Alice married the Polish general Józef Dwernicki in Paris in 1834 . Jean Broc died in 1850 while visiting his daughter in Łopatyn, Poland.
