Born in Fourquevaux (near Toulouse) in 1838, Jean-Paul Laurens always cherished his country ties and remained particularly influenced by his southern origins.He was from a very modest background and started his career as a simple colour grinder for an itinerant Piedmontese master. He went on to receive training at the Fine Arts school in Toulouse (1854) and obtained a municipal grant to study in Paris (1860). Laurens often went to the studio of the history painter Léon Cogniet and there he met the woman he was to marry, Madeleine Willemsens (1869), the daughter of his first teacher. They had two sons.
