Delphin Enjolras

Biography

Delphin Enjolras was born in 1857 at Courcouron in the Ardeche. He had a formal artistic training studying under the celebrated teacher Gerome at the Beaux-Arts, and Dagnan-Bouveret.
He painted some fine landscapes, in particular those hanging in the Musee du Puy, and the Musee Calvet d’Avignon. However the majority of Enjolras’s oil paintings and pastels depict young ladies illuminated by lamplight. His subjects are often engaged in simple domestic pursuits such as reading, sewing or flower arranging, although at times, he sought a more intimate portrayal.
A pupil of Gerard, Enjolras was a member of the Society of French Artists from 1901 and featured at the Salon of this Society.

The Museum of Puy holds a work by him titled “Le Donjon de Polignac”, and the Museum at Avignon has “Provinciale”.
