Jules de Goncourt (1830-1870) was a prominent French writer and art critic, best known for his collaborative works with his older brother, Edmond de Goncourt. Together, they are often referred to as the Goncourt brothers, and they played a significant role in the literary and artistic circles of 19th-century France. Jules de Goncourt was born on December 17, 1830, in Paris, into a family with a strong cultural and intellectual heritage. His father, Marc-Pierre Huot de Goncourt, was a former officer in the Napoleonic army, and his mother, Annette-Cécile de Goncourt, came from a family of artists and intellectuals.

Jules and Edmond de Goncourt are best known for their collaborative journal, "Journal des Goncourt," which they began in 1851 and continued until Jules's untimely death in 1870. The journal provides a vivid and detailed account of the literary, artistic, and social life of their time, offering insights into the personalities and events that shaped the cultural landscape of 19th-century France. The Goncourt brothers were keen observers of the world around them, and their journal is renowned for its candid and often critical commentary on their contemporaries.

In addition to their journal, the Goncourt brothers co-authored several novels, including "Germinie Lacerteux" (1865), which is considered one of their most significant works. The novel, based on the life of their maid, explores themes of poverty, addiction, and social injustice, and is often regarded as a precursor to the naturalist movement in literature. The Goncourt brothers' writing style is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, vivid descriptions, and psychological depth.

Jules de Goncourt's contributions to the arts extended beyond literature. He was also an accomplished art critic and historian, with a particular interest in 18th-century French art. His works in this field include "L'Art du XVIIIe siècle" (1865-1875), a comprehensive study of the art and artists of the 18th century, which remains an important reference for art historians.

Jules de Goncourt's life was tragically cut short when he died of syphilis on June 20, 1870, at the age of 39. Despite his relatively short life, his contributions to literature and art have left a lasting legacy. The Goncourt brothers' journal continues to be an invaluable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of 19th-century French culture, and their novels and critical works remain influential in the study of literature and art history.
