Jean-Baptiste Besson (known as Frère Hyacinthe Besson; 10 March 1816 – 4 May 1861) was a French painter and missionary priest. ==Early years== Jean-Baptiste Besson was born and was baptized on 10 March 1816 in Rans in the Jura. He was the natural son of Anne-Charlotte Desiree Besson, aged thirty, by an unknown father. He appears to have spent his first years at the home of his maternal grandfather, a landowner, who lost his fortune through the dishonesty of a relative. His mother took him to Besançon, where she found work as a hotel maid. She then walked to Paris and found work with an old American lady on the rue des Trois Frères, halfway up the Montmartre hill, with a room in the attic. Her employer died in 1828 and left her maid a small legacy. Besson's mother found a new position with the Abbé Leclair, priest of Notre-Dame-de-Lorette. The old priest gave Mme Besson the task of distributing the alms that he received, which were considerable. Besson was enrolled in a school near the parish, where he was taught by Pierre-Célestin Roux-Lavergne, a friend of Philippe Buchez, with whom he had written the ''Histoire parlementaire de la Révolution française''. His teacher quickly saw the artistic talents of his pupil, and introduced him to the "Christian Socialist" philosophy. Besson met many artists at the school, including Piel, who would later join him in the cloister. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hyacinthe Besson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
