Jules Joseph Lefebvre - Mary Magdalene In A Grotto [1876], originally uploaded by Gandalf's Gallery.
Jules Joseph Lefebvre (Touman-en Brie, March 14, 1836 – Paris, February 24, 1911) was a French figure painter. Many of his paintings are single figures of beautiful women. He is chiefly important as an excellent and sympathetic teacher who numbered many Americans among his 1500 or more pupils. Among his many decorations were a first-class medal at the Paris Exhibition of 1878 and the medal of honour in 1886.
