Jehan George Vibert (1840-1902), French academic painter, grandson of engraver Jean-Pierre-Marie Jazet. He has been accused of anti-clericalism, as many of his paintings satirise 'comfortable' priests. His fame spread to the USA, and both John Jacob Astor IV and William Vanderbilt commissioned paintings from him. During the siege of Paris in 1870 he joined the 'sharpshooters', was wounded at Malmaison, and won the Légion d’Honneur.
