Genre-figure painter Francis Coates Jones, born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1857, first expressed an interest in art in 1876 when visiting Edwin Abbey. Jones and his brother, H. Bolton Jones, a painter of landscapes, then worked at Pont-Aven, Brittany in an artists' colony attended by Robert Wylie and Thomas Hovenden. Pont-Aven would soon become famous for Paul Gauguin painting there.
Jones, in the autumn of 1877, went to Paris to study at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. He studied with Henri Leh (showing 500 of 2029 characters). |
