Edmond Francois Aman Jean

Edmond Francois Aman-Jean (1858 - 1936) was a French symbolist painter, who co-founded the Salon des Tuileries in 1923. Aman-Jean established his reputation primarily for his portraits, especially of female subjects; he was also noted for his murals in public and official buildings, including the Sorbonne. Like many French artists of his generation, he was influenced by the new perspectives on Japanese art current in Paris in his day; more unusually, he was interested in the Pre-Raphaelite artists in England.
