This painting is being donated to the Eufaula Area Chamber of Commerce for their Community Dinner/Dance silent auction on December 8th. I fell in love with this painting and I’m the artist, so I hope it’ll be a hit at the auction.
About Joseph Joubert
French essayist Joseph Joubert
became famous after his death when his friend, the renowned author
Chateaubriand, gathered a selection of essays into the book Collected Thoughts of Mr. Joubert.
Joubert was born in 1754 in Périgord. He attended and then taught at a
religious college in Toulouse but left in 1778 for Paris, where he
became friends with a number of great thinkers of the time. He wrote
copiously on such subjects as ethics, politics, theology, and
literature. He died in 1824.
