Biography

Camille Ravot, a Parisian sculptor and lithographer, was mostly known for his 1915 lithograph of the assassination of French socialist leader Jean Jaurès by the student and French nationalist Raoul Villain. The day after the assassination general mobilization in France was proclaimed and World War I started three days later. Ravot was known more as a sculptor than as a painter. He and his son presented some 100 pictures depicting the travels they did in France and abroad, including drawings, oil paintings, watercolors. They were displayed at the Musée Jean Jaurès in Castres, France.
