Joseph Raphael was born in Jackson, California in 1869 and studied at
the San Francisco School of Design before leaving for Paris to attend
the Ecole des Beaux Arts and the Academie Julian. While continuing to
exhibit his works in galleries in San Francisco, Raphael would remain a
resident of Europe for 37 years. Only with the approach of WW II did he
return to California, where his pure Impressionist style was well
received.
