Biography

Emile Auguste Hublin, born on 2 July 1830 in Angers, France, was a painter who left an indelible mark on the art world with his distinctive blend of neoclassicism, mid-century realism, and academic tradition. Raised in Angers, a town rich in history and culture, Hublin had ample opportunities to explore art, from medieval tapestries to the collections at the Musée des Beaux-Arts.

Hublin's early life coincided with the tumultuous period of the July Revolution in 1830, and he began his artistic journey just as Louis-Philippe took control of France. Despite political upheavals in Paris, Hublin's life in Angers remained relatively untouched. He likely honed his skills through local studies before venturing to Paris in the late 1840s or early 1850s.

Entering the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in 1855 at the age of 24, Hublin studied under François-Edouard Picot, a neoclassical painter with a lineage to Jacques-Louis David. Hublin's Salon debut in 1861 marked the beginning of a prolific exhibition career that lasted until at least 1880. His work, strongly influenced by neoclassicism, stood out for its sculptural forms reminiscent of David's late portraiture.

Hublin's artistry evolved further in the 1870s, marked by frequent trips to Brittany. His paintings, such as "Two Beggar Girls from Quimperle" (1872), showcased his fascination with the region's customs and costumes. In paintings like "The Lonely Maid" (1873) and "A Friend in Need" (1879), Hublin depicted young peasant women in a three-dimensional form, deviating from the trend of disembodied female figures in academic salons.

As an academic painter, Hublin found success, with regular participation in Salon exhibitions and a thriving market for his work. His popularity extended to British collectors, evidenced by the steady increase in the auction prices of his paintings throughout the twentieth century.

Emile Auguste Hublin's exact date of death is uncertain, but it is believed to have occurred around 1891. His legacy lives on through his unique artistic vision, capturing the essence of rural life amidst a changing world.
