The elder brother of painter Auguste Feyen-Perrin, Jacques-Eugene enrolled at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and studied under Paul Delaroche. He had a notable career at the Paris Salon from 1841 to 1882. Vincent Van Gogh was a fan of Feyen and describes him as, "one of the few painters who pictures intimate modern life as it really is, and does not turn it into fashion plates." He set up studio and settled in summer in the town of Cancale.He spent several months every year painting views of Cancale, the oyster-picking Cancalaises and the bay of Mont St. Michel, and his paintings still enjoy a steady fame.   Related Paintings of Jacques-Eugene Feyen :. | Elibu Yale the 2nd Duke of Devonshire,Lord James Cavendish,Mr Tunstal and a Page | Procession of the True Cross in Piazza San Marco | The Virgin and Child with Saints Justin and George and a Benedictine (mk05) | Arab or Arabic people and life.
