Édouard Moyse
1827–1908
Édouard Moyse was born in Nancy and raised in Paris, where he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts. He became one of the first artists in France (along with the French Jewish painter Jacques-Émile-Édouard Brandon) to represent Jewish subjects. Moyse painted biblical themes, scenes of Jewish life and ritual, significant historical events in the life of the French Jewish community, and portraits of rabbis. He first showed his work at the Salon, the annual art exhibition of the Académie des Beaux-Arts, in 1850 and was awarded a second-class medal in 1862.
