Biography
Julian worked as an employee in a bookstore in Marseille. He was interested in sports, particularly wrestling. Julian went to Paris, where he became a student of Léon Cogniet and Alexandre Cabanel, professor at the École des Beaux-Arts, without being enrolled there.[2]
In 1863 he exhibited for the first time in the salons.[3]
He married the painter Amélie Beaury-Saurel in 1895.
The challenges that he faced when in Paris led him to found in 1868, a private art academy, the Académie Julian, who also offered training to foreign artists and women who had little access to the official academy . The purpose was to prepare students for entry to the Ecole des Beaux-Arts.[4]
Rodolphe Julian was described by the Anglo-Irish novelist and critic George Moore as "a kind of Hercules, dark-haired, strong, with broad shoulders, short legs, a soft voice and all the charm of the Midi".[5]
