Life
Joséphine was born in Angers, studied academic painting and drawing from a young age and was a student of her successful uncle, Jules Lenepveu.[2] She married Fernand Berthault (1849 - 1930) who was also a painter.[2][3]
Joséphine Berthault was active between 1877 and 1892,[3] created mostly landscapes, portraits, and still lifes, and was one of a select group of women painters of the nineteenth century who exhibited their art throughout France.[2][4] She also taught art to many students at her studio, located at Ralliement place in Angers, in the building built for her father-in-law Gaspard Berthault (1820 - 1900). Gaspard was a photographer and scenic painter who became known for his portraits in daguerreotypes.[2]
