French painter (1841–1870)
Frédéric Bazille was a French painter who lived during the mid-19th century and is known for his contributions to early Impressionism and modern art. His career was cut short when he died at age 28 during the Franco-Prussian War, but his paintings—often depicting figures in natural light and outdoor settings—influenced the development of modern painting during a pivotal period in art history.

Quotes
- “The big classical compositions are finished; an ordinary view of daily life would be much more interesting.”
- “Certain parts of the forest [the forest Bas Bréau, near Barbizon ] are truly wonderful. We can't even imagine such oak trees in Montpellier.”
- “This country [landscape around Honfleur, where Bazille was painting with Monet, circa 1864] is paradise. Nowhere could you find more lush fields with more beautiful trees. Cows and horses roam freely everywhere.”
- “I do hope, that if I ever do anything, at least to have the merit of not copying anyone.”
- “I have begun one of the pictures of my uncle, which would be finished in the most, two weeks, if only I were able to go to Fontainebleau [probably because Manet urged him to pose for his [[w:Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe|'Déjeuner sur l'herbe'] to do some needed studies. In any case neither will be finished before next August. I am taking great pains with them and I hope my uncle will be very pleased.”
- “Finally.. ..I will have finished the paintings for my uncle. I have completely reworked them since my last letter [to his mother, 5 May 1865]; originally I had included a mass of details, which, from the distance they were intended to be viewed, had a very bad effect. I have worked at breakneck speed for two weeks, and now I am rather pleased, at least with one of them.”

Jean Frédéric Bazille ( French pronunciation: [ʒɑ̃ fʁedeʁik bazij]; December 6, 1841 – November 28, 1870) was a French Impressionist painter. Many of Bazille's major works are examples of figure painting in which he placed the subject figure within a landscape painted en plein air.
