Jean-François Raffaëlli (1850–1924) was a multifaceted French artist renowned for his contributions to painting, printmaking, and sculpture. Born in Paris, Raffaëlli initially pursued a career in music before turning his focus to the visual arts. He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts under the tutelage of Jean-Léon Gérôme, a prominent academic painter. Raffaëlli's early works were influenced by the Realist movement, and he often depicted the lives of the working class and the urban poor, capturing the essence of Parisian life during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Raffaëlli's artistic style evolved over time, incorporating elements of Impressionism, although he never fully embraced the movement. He was associated with the Impressionists and exhibited with them in 1880 and 1881, thanks to the encouragement of Edgar Degas. Despite this association, Raffaëlli maintained a distinct approach, focusing on detailed, realistic portrayals rather than the fleeting effects of light and color that characterized Impressionist works.

One of Raffaëlli's notable contributions to the art world was his innovative use of pastel and his development of new techniques in printmaking. His etchings and lithographs were highly regarded, and he played a significant role in the revival of these mediums during his time. Raffaëlli's works often featured scenes of Parisian streets, landscapes, and portraits, reflecting his keen observation of contemporary society.

Throughout his career, Raffaëlli received numerous accolades and exhibited widely, including at the Salon des Artistes Français, where he was awarded several medals. His works are held in major museums and collections worldwide, including the Musée d'Orsay in Paris and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Jean-François Raffaëlli remains a significant figure in the history of French art, celebrated for his unique blend of realism and impressionistic influences, as well as his contributions to the development of modern printmaking techniques.
