Joséphine Berthault (20 November 1853 – 6 August 1923) was a French painter.[1]

Life

Joséphine was born in Angers, studied academic painting and drawing from a young age and was a student of her successful uncle, Jules Lenepveu. She married Fernand Berthault (1849 - 1930) who was also a painter.[2]

Joséphine Berthault was active between 1877 and 1892,[2] created mostly landscapes, portraits, and still lifes, and was one of a select group of women painters of the nineteenth century who exhibited their art throughout France.[3] She also taught art to many students at her studio, located at Ralliement place in Angers, in the building built for her father-in-law Gaspard Berthault (1820 - 1900). Gaspard was a photographer and scenic painter who became known for his portraits in daguerreotypes.
