Jean-Franck Baudoin a wood engraver and painter of the society of French Artists. He was born at Saint Martin De Re on the 26th of August 1870 in a protestant family and died on the 20th January 1961 at Libourne ‘Gironde’ at the age of 91. He was the son of a sculptor and therefore woke up very early to an artistic life. His family supported his talent and sent him to Paris to live with his uncle. He was the student of ‘Trupheme’, a Director at the Superior Class of Drawing in Paris whom he also studied with Rousseau, Bouguereau, Robert-Fleury, Baschet and Royer. Having won awards for his work of wood engraving exhibited at the exhibition between 1888-1896 Jean-Franck Baudoin turned to painting. It was in the Ile de Re (his place of birth) where his family were refuged during the war of 1870, that the artist mostly used his easel and where he became influenced by popular impressionist artists including Monet, Pissarro, Degas and van Gogh. Baudoin developed his own post-impressionist style, some calling him a master of composition, light and colour. At an exhibition of his work at the Galerie Charpentier, the French State acquired his ‘Le Pont St Michel et Notre Dame. Most of Baudoin’s paintings are kept in private collections or owned by his family. However, they can also be seen in a number of regional French national galleries.
