Jules Bastien-Lepage (1848–1884), French painter of rustic outdoor genre scenes widely imitated in France and England. Bastien-Lepage studied under Alexandre Cabanel, first exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1870, and won a medal at the Salon of 1874 for Spring Song, which stylistically owes a little to Édouard Manet. The Hayfield (1878) follows in the tradition of Jean-François Millet and reveals the sentimental element that characterizes Bastien-Lepage’s work. Joan of Arc Listening to the Voices, which represents Joan as a Lorraine peasant, typifies his subject pictures. He was also a portraitist of note.
