Frédéric Bazille was a French Impressionist painter who was born on December 6, 1841 and died on November 28, 1870. Many of Bazille's major works are figure paintings in outdoor landscape.

He was born in a wealthy Protestant family in Montpellier, France. He became interested in painting after seeing the works of Eugène Delacroix. His family allowed him to study painting under the condition that he also studied medicine together.

Frédéric Bazille

Bazille started studying medicine in 1859 and moved to Paris in 1862 to continue his study. There, he met Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Alfred Sisley, was fascinated by Impressionist painting, and began taking classes in Charles Gleyre's studio. In 1864, Bazille, who failed his medical exam, began painting full-time. Bazille was generous with his property and helped his poor friends by providing them with his studio and money.

Bazille joined army in August 1870, a month after the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War. In the Battle of Beaune-la-Rolande on November 28 of that year, Bazille, who took command and fought with the Germans when his officer was injured, died at the age of 28. His father came to the battlefield a few days later to take his body, and his body was buried at Montpellier about a week later.
