Eugène Auguste François Deully (1860–1933) was a French painter of genre scenes and figures.^[1]

Life[edit]

Deully was born in Lille on 16 November 1860. He studied in Paris at the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs and the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts, and under Jean Léon Gérôme, Auguste Barthélemy Glaize and Léon Glaize.^[2]

He initially painted symbolist, religious and mythological subjects; later, he produced numerous portraits and genre scenes. He exhibited from 1887 at the Paris Salon, winning an award with merit in 1888, a third-class medal in 1889, and a first-class medal in 1892.^[2] He exhibited at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris, where he won a bronze medal.^[1]

Deully received a travel bursary in 1892 to visit Italy, the Netherlands and Belgium. He was then the drawing teacher at the Collège Sainte-Barbe for a time. From 1897 to 1912 he was chief conservator at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lille. He was made an Officer of the Legion of Honour in 1927.^[2]

He died at his home in the 14th arrondissement of Paris on 6 December 1933.^[3]
