Anne-François-Louis Janmot (21 May 1814 – 1 June 1892) was a French painter and poet.

Early years

Janmot was born in Lyon, France, of Catholic parents who were deeply religious. He was extremely moved by the death of his brother in 1823 and his sisters in 1829. He became a student at the Royal College of Lyon where he met Frederic Ozanam and other followers of his philosophy professor, Abbe Noirot.

In 1831 he was admitted to the École des Beaux-Arts de Lyon and a year later, he won the highest honor, the Golden Laurel. In 1833, he came to Paris to take painting lessons from Victor Orsel and Jean- Field Flowers by Louis Janmot: Buy fine art print - MeisterDrucke CUJ
