Philippe-Auguste Jeanron (10 May 1809 – 8 April 1877) was a French painter, curator and writer. Throughout his life he was a passionate republican. His genre pictures typically depicted common people. He opposed the July Monarchy. After the February Revolution of 1848 was made head of National Museums and Director of the Louvre, where he introduced important innovations in the preservation, classification and arrangement of the collections. Later he became director of the museum in Marseilles. ==Early years== Philippe-Auguste Jeanron was born in Boulogne-sur-Mer on 10 May 1809. His grandfather had been a revolutionary who participated in the storming of the Bastille. He was born in the military camp at Boulogne, where his father was Nicolas Jeanron, a shoemaker for the troops of the Emperor. Nicolas Jeanron was taken prisoner by the English in August 1809 and imprisoned on the hulks of Portsmouth. He was later joined there by his wife Marguerite and their children, Philippe and Julie. Another son, Victor, was born in England. They returned to France in April 1814 after peace had been made, and settled on rue Montorgueil in Paris. Jeanron studied drawing and painting under Xavier Sigalon (1787–1837). He first studied at the Bourbon college where he met many republican activists, including the groups led by Philippe Buonarroti, who had escaped from a death sentence in Belgium. He learned by copying the ''The Wedding at Cana'' at the Louvre. He also studied at the Swiss Academy. In 1828 Jeanron and his friend Honoré Daumier shared fifty francs for a sign they made for a midwife. He undertook commissions of paintings for churches in Paris such as Saint-Vincent-de-Paul and Saint-Louis-en-l'Ile, and made landscapes in the style of the Barbizon school. 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「Philippe-Auguste Jeanron」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
