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.
