Life
Born in Paris in 1849, Léon Du Paty was a student of the painter Isidore Pils . Like his teacher, Du Paty based himself on the traditional style of the Académie des Beaux-Arts and mainly created genre pictures with military motifs. He made his debut at the Salon de Paris in 1869 with the history painting Les Maures quittant l'Espagne, 1492 . In the following years he also exhibited regularly in the salon and mostly showed scenes from the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71 . For example, in 1873 he exhibited the war scene Reconnaissance en avant des forts, pendant le siège de Paris (November 1870) , and in 1874 showed Tirailleurs en avant! and in 1877 Parlementaire . For the little genre picture En wagon K with the display of front-line soldiers in a train he received in 1880 in the Salon a special mention ( mention honorable ).
In the battle picture Bataille de Friedland, 14 juin 1807 , that he exhibited in the Salon of 1887, he turned to a subject from the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte . Another picture from this theme is the painting Graves nouvelles, armée de l'Est, 1871, from 1893 . He also worked in the 1880s as a studio manager for Théophile Poilpot (1848–1915), a painter who specialized in large-format panorama pictures . Du Paty also worked as a draftsman for various newspapers and provided illustrations for various book editions, for example for the novels La jeune armée by Jules Richard and Le jardin de Mlle Jeanne by Émile Desbeaux .
Léon Du Paty was friends with the painter Édouard Manet , who created a pastel portrait of his wife in 1879 . Du Paty belonged to the Société des Artistes Français since 1893 .
