Delphin Enjolras was born in 1857 at Courcouron in the Ardèche. He had a formal artistic<br />

training studying under the celebrated teacher Gérome at the Beaux-Arts, and Dagnan-<br />

Bouveret.<br />

He painted some fine landscapes, in particular those hanging in the Musée du Puy, and the<br />

Musée Calvet d'Avignon. However the majority of Enjolras' oil paintings and pastels depict<br />

young ladies illuminated by lamplight. His subjects are often engaged in simple domestic<br />

pursuits such as reading, sewing or flower arranging, although at times he sought a more<br />

intimate portrayal.<br />

Enjolras exhibited at the Société des Artistes Français, of which he became a member in 1901,<br />

and at the Paris Salon from 1890. His work is represented in the Musée du Puy and Musée<br />

d’Avignon.
