Early life
Jean-Gaspard Goyrand was born in 1803.[1] He was the son of Gabriel-Antoine Goyrand (1754-1826), a religious painter, and Marie Eulalie Ravanas (1762-1825).[1] His father was in exile in Italy during the French Revolution of 1789, and later returned to Aix.[1] His great-uncle, Jean-Louis Goyrand (1718-1790), was a Professor of Medicine at the University of Aix-en-Provence.[1]
He received his doctorate degree in Paris in 1828, where he was taught by Guillaume Dupuytren.[2] He later disagreed with his former professor.[3]
