The career of Edmond Aman-Jean   

Edmond Aman-Jean (1858-1937), was a 19th-century French Symbolist artist.

He studied painting with Henri Lehmann at the Beaux-Arts in Paris, and shared a studio with Georges Seurat. He travels to Italy, where he studies the primitive painters, and carries out collaborative projects with Seurat.

He complements his painting with Symbolist literature, a milieu through which he paints Verlaine's portrait at the Hôpital Broussais. The latter dedicated a sonnet un retour to him.

He was interested in chromatic theories and divisionism.

Like Albert Besnard, he was not extremely well known but nevertheless received a significant number of public commissions during his lifetime.

He died in Paris, aged 77.
