Frédéric Bazille Biography

Frédéric Bazille was born in 1841 in Montpellier, France, into a rich middle-class Protestant family. In 1859, he began to study medicine in Montpellier and, in 1862, continued his medical studies in Paris, at the same time attending painting classes at Atelier Gleyre, where he met Monet, Renoir and Sisley. They became close friends; Bazille supported Monet financially, they spent much time painting together plein-air in the forest of Fontainebleau, Honfleur; he shared a studio with Monet in 1865, with Renoir in 1866. In 1864 Bazille gave up his medical studies for painting.
