Georges Jeannin
Born : 1841Died : 1925Documented citizenships : France
Georges Jeannin, a French painter born and deceased in Paris, made floral compositions the focus of his practice. He trained with Victor Vincelet. Admitted to the Société des artistes français in 1878, he received an honourable mention at the Salon in 1876, a third-class medal in 1878, and a second-class medal in 1888.
The Paris Expositions Universelles awarded him a bronze medal in 1889 and another in 1900; he was appointed a Chevalier of the Légion d’honneur in 1903. His work also included decoration, notably that of the Salon du Passage at Paris City Hall, carried out with Achille Cesbron. A member of the Société nationale d’horticulture de France, Jeannin chaired its fine arts section from its creation in 1898 until his death.
Several works are recorded in public collections: Fleurs et fruits at the Musée Magnin in Dijon, Dahlias et roses (1895) at the Musée d’Art moderne et contemporain de Saint-Étienne Métropole, Pivoines at the Musée d’Orsay, as well as Fleurs in Rouen and Nature morte aux pommes et poires in Valenciennes. The documented works also include Charretée de fleurs, dated 1879 and purchased by the state, formerly held at the Musée du Luxembourg. L’Embarquement de fleurs, dated around 1880 and purchased by the state, was formerly at Combourg town hall; Un jour de fête was purchased by the City of Paris in 1882 and placed in the Salon of the Prefect of the Seine.
