Julius LeBlanc Stewart (September 6, 1855,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania — January 5, 1919, Paris, France), was
an American artist who spent his career in Paris. A contemporary of fellow
expatriate painter John Singer Sargent, Stewart was nicknamed "the
Parisian from Philadelphia".
His
father, the sugar millionaire William Hood Stewart, moved the family from
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Paris in 1865, and became a distinguished art
collector and an early patron of Marià Fortuny and the Barbizon artists. Julius
studied under Eduardo Zamacois as a teenager, under Jean-Léon Gérôme at the
École des Beaux-Arts, and later was a pupil of Raymondo de Madrazo.
Stewart's
family wealth enabled him to live a lush expatriate life and paint what he
pleased, often large-scaled group portraits.
He
exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon from 1878 into the early 20th century,
and helped organize the "Americans in Paris" section of the 1894
Salon.
Late in life, he turned to religious subjects, but Stewart is best
remembered for his Belle Époque society portraits and sensuous nudes. More Julius
