BIOGRAPHY - Jehan (or Jean) Georges Vibert was
born in Paris September 30, 1840. His maternal grandfather was the celebrated
engraver Jean-Pierre-Marie Jazet and his paternal grandfather, Jean-Pierre
Vibert was an important botanist who perfected new species of roses,
one of which he named after Jehan-Georges. As a young man Vibert was
a mediocre student, more assiduous in drawing pictures of people
in [his] copy-books than in paying attention to [his] masters
lessons. (Vibert, The Century Magazine, 1895, pg. 79) Just as
many other artists, Viberts diligence did not extend to his studies.
