Jules Jacques Veyrassat was a highly regarded French painter and printmaker. Veyrassat studied in Paris in the studio of Henri Lehmann, and exhibited his first works at the Paris Salon in 1848. His work was heavily influenced by his observation of rural life in the French countryside, and his subjects often addressed themes of breeding and working horses in agricultural life.
He is most typically associated with the Barbizon School, whose artists painted landscape in realistic terms and for its own sake. They based their art on the works of 17th-century French and Dutch and contemporary English landscape painters, all of whom approached their subject with sensitive observation and a deep love of nature.
