Born in Carpentras, near Nîmes, Jean-Joseph-Xavier Bidauld (1758–1846) is placed by the National Gallery in London in the first generation of Neoclassical landscape painters, associated with Pierre-Henri de Valenciennes. Trained by Claude-Joseph Vernet, he returns to Paris, where he exhibits historical landscapes at the Salon and pursues this activity until his death.
The National Gallery presents him as the first landscape painter to enter the Académie des Beaux-Arts, in 1823.
