Jules-Émile Zingg (25 August 1882, Montbéliard, Doubs - 4 May 1942) was a French painter. == Biography== Jules-Émile Zingg was born in Montbéliard in the mountainous Jura area of Eastern France, the son of a clockmaker and woodcutter. He started drawing at four. There he began to paint the peasants and countryside. He studied the design of clocks before winning a scholarship to study at the Beaux-Arts school college in Besançon under Félix Giacomotti in 1901. After a year he won a scholarship to study in Paris at the École des Beaux-Arts in the studio of Fernand-Anne Piestre (known by the pseudonym of Fernand Cormon). He won the second Prix de Rome. His work was accepted at the Salon de Artistes Français. He studied Paul Cézanne who became a major influence on his work. After World War I he began to exhibit at the Salon des Indépendants and the Salon d'Automne in a modernist style. At Perros-Guirec in Brittany he met the founder of Les Nabis, Maurice Denis, Paul Sérusier and Georges Hanna Sabbagh. In the 1920s, Zingg exhibited frequently in Paris. In 1930 he was awarded the Chevalier de la légion d'honneur. In 1937 he was awarded the Grand Prize at the Exposition Universelle. He designed tapestries for the Aubusson and Gobelin factories. He became vice-president of the society dedicated to the art of fresco painting, and about 1925 decorated with frescoes the columns of the famous Montparnasse brasserie, La Coupole. Zingg's work is to be found in many museum collections including the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris and the Musée de la Ville de Paris, as well as museums in Besançon and other French towns. Retrospective exhibitions of his work have been held at the Musée de Pont-Aven (2004) and in Paris at the Musée Bourdelle (1990). After World War I one of his pupils was Claude Génisson.
