Philippe Jullian

Philippe Jullian was a French writer, illustrator, and art historian known for his wit, eccentricity, and deep engagement with the aesthetics of the Belle Époque and fin-de-siècle periods. Born in Bordeaux into an aristocratic family, Jullian developed an early fascination with decadence and symbolism, which became central themes in his work. He gained prominence through his biographies of cultural figures like Oscar Wilde, Edward VII, and Sarah Bernhardt, offering incisive and often humorous portraits of their lives and times.

(London, 1774) and Campi Phlegraei: Observations on the Volcanoes of the Two Sicilies (Naples, 1776). He also painted some concert parties sponsored by Hamilton, including one that included a young Mozart at the harpsichord.
