Beraud was a well-known artist whose works were and are still used on a variety of products. He was the one who was able to depict and appreciates Parisian life in its gardens, cafes, and boulevards. Today, his art is found in all corners of the world – in galleries, institutions, museums, homes, offices, and public spaces. The framed Jean Beraud art come ready for hanging; that’s why they are highly priced by many collectors, especially the discriminating collectors. By 1890 he decided to concentrate on religious themes, but in a way, he infused them with modernity. Beraud’s first religious work, La Prière, appeared at the Salon of 1883. It attracted a large number of viewers some of whom turned out to be his die-hard fans and clients. Many shows followed and all of them attracted more and more people since his pieces of art were of the highest quality. Collectors were and are still on the lookout for his art. Beraud studied law after completing his studies. Beraud documented the Parisian daily life; by then this had become a demonstration of display. He believed that art is a means of communication that’s why he used to simplify his works to make interpretation easier.
