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.
