Jean-Eugène Buland
French painter (1852-1926)
Jean-Eugène Buland (26 October 1852 in Paris – 18 March 1926 in Charly-sur-Marne) was a French painter.
Biography
The son of an engraver, Buland entered the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts under the tutelage of Alexandre Cabanel. His earliest works were Symbolist paintings of antique scenes, but he quickly turned towards depicting scenes of everyday life.
He used photographs in order to paint with realism. He received the Second Grand Prix de Rome two years in a row, in 1878 and 1879. His participation in the Salon led to several awards: an honorable mention in 1879, a third-place medal in 1884, followed by a second-place medal in 1887. At the World's Fair in Paris in 1889 he was honoured with a silver medal. He was inducted into the Legion of Honour in 1894.
He profited from the commissions he received from major institutions such as the Musée du Luxembourg, and other museums in the provinces. He painted several panels of the Salon of Sciences at the Hôtel de Ville, Paris and decorated the ceiling of the city hall at Château-Thierry.
