BRASCASSAT, JACQUES RAYMOND (1804-1867), French painter, was born at Bordeaux; he studied art in Paris, where in 1825 he won a prix de Rome with a picture ("Chasse de Meleagre") now in the Bordeaux gallery. His reputation as an artist was made in animal painting. His "Lutte de taureaux" (1837), in the musee at Nantes, and his "Vache attaquee par des loups" (1845), in the Leipzig museum, were perhaps the best of his pictures. He died in Paris on Feb. 28, 1867.
