A student of Jean-Victor Bertin, Jules Coignet adopted his master's predilection for landscape painting. He is the author of a great number of canvases representing views and landscapes painted during his numerous travels in Tyrol and the Baden region, in Switzerland, in Italy and Sicily, in Egypt and Lebanon in the Orient, as well as in several provinces of France, notably Brittany and the Isère valley.
