Joseph Caraud was born in Cluny (Saone-et-Loire) on Janruary 5, 1821 and died in November 1905. Caraud is considered a historical and genre painter from the French school. In 1844, Caraud traveled to Paris to attend the Beaux-Arts Academie. It was his academic studies under Master painter Alexandre Abel de Pujol (1787-1861) and later with Charles Louis Lucien Muller (1815- 1892) that helped launch his career as one of France's best portrait and genre painters of the 19th century.
