Born in 1869, Paul Dupuy was a popular genre painter who undertook tuition from Bonnat and Maignan. In 1899 he became a Member of the Society of French Artists and in following exhibitions he received numerous medals and Honourable Mentions for his work. Dupuy's reputation became such that he was considered in a class of his own and was made a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour, receiving a Medal of Honour in 1933. Dupuy died in Paris in 1949, aged 80, and since then his paintings have escalated in price, and reached an audience world-wide.
