Biography
Born in Paris, rue d'Enfer in the Île de la Cité, on 19 October 1797,[1] Louise Jeanne Amélie Legrand, known as Legrand de Saint-Aubin, is the eldest daughter of Pierre Jean Hilaire Legrand known as Legrand de Saint-Aubin (1772–1839),[2] head of direct contributions,[3] [4] and his wife Denise Marie Claudine Legrand (1772–1855).[5]
She studied painting with Charles Meynier in the 1810s. In her workshop located at the Sorbonne, she worked alongside, among others, Louise Hersent (1784–1862), Aimée Brune-Pagès (1803–1866) and Jenny Larivière (1801–1885).[6] She exhibited for the first time at the Salon in Paris in 1819 and, until 1850, sent to this exhibition nearly thirty paintings of religious painting, history and portraits.
She died unmarried at the age of 80 on 3 October 1878, at her home in the 5th arrondissement of Paris. She was buried the next day in the Montparnasse cemetery; her concession was recovered by the town hall in 1957 and her remains were then transferred to the ossuary of the Père-Lachaise cemetery.[7]
