In the annals of art history, Henri-Jules-Jean Geoffroy, also known by his pseudonym Géo, occupies a prominent position. Born March 1, 1853, in Marennes, France, and dying in Paris in December 1924, Géo was a gifted painter and illustrator. He gained particular recognition for his charming genre scenes depicting children in a variety of life situations. His art left a profound impact and still inspires us today to produce high quality art prints of his original works, making his outstanding art accessible to a wider audience.
Geoffroy's artistic career began in the metropolis of Paris, to which his family moved when he was only two years old. With his father's profession as a tailor and costume designer and a mother who was the eldest daughter of English painter John Dickinson, Geoffroy grew up in an atmosphere of creativity and craftsmanship. At 18, he began his studies at the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts. Here he studied under masters such as Léon Bonnat, Eugène Levasseur, and Adolphe Yvon before continuing his artistic journey under the guidance of Emile Bin. His first exhibition took place in 1874, an event that marked the beginning of an amazing artistic career, crowned by a gold medal at the Exposition Universelle in 1900.
Particularly formative for Géo's artistic output was his proximity to education and upbringing. Initially, he shared an apartment with teachers Louis and Julie Girard, who were above their private school. This encounter influenced his choice to take children as the main subject of his art and provided endless inspiration for his paintings. Later, when the Girards opened a boarding school, Geoffroy was inspired by the life and hustle and bustle of the students and created works that documented social progress during the Third Republic. Around 1876, Geoffroy met Pierre-Jules Hetzel, who hired him as an illustrator for juvenile books. After 1880, he signed his illustrations under the name "Géo," and it was under this pseudonym that his career catapulted to new heights. In the course of his work, he also befriended Doctor Gaston Variot, a fellow Louis Pasteur, and became an enthusiastic advocate of pasteurization.
Géo's immeasurable contribution to art ended with his death from an unknown illness in 1924. He bequeathed his studio and an extensive collection of his works to Julie Girard, the daughter of his former landlords and lasting friends. Today, we honor Géo's legacy by reproducing his stunning works as fine art prints that capture the spirit and beauty of his original paintings with the utmost precision and consideration. In every art print we produce, we pay homage to Henri-Jules-Jean Geoffroy's incomparable artistic vision by making it accessible to a new generation of art lovers.
