Jules Tavernier (27 April 1844 – 18 May 1889) was a French painter, illustrator, and member of Hawaii’s Volcano School.
Life and career
Tavernier was born on 27 April 1844 in Paris. He studied with French painter, Félix Joseph Barrias, but left France in the 1870s, never to return.
Tavernier was employed as an illustrator by Harper's Magazine, which sent him, along with Paul Frenzeny, on a year-long coast-to-coast sketching tour in 1873.[1] He arrived in San Francisco in the summer of 1874, but soon traveled south and founded an art colony on the Monterey Peninsula.[2] In 1874, Tavernier came upon the tavern owned by his compatriot Jules Simoneau. Briefly, he established a studio at the Girandin Hotel (now called Stevenson House). In November 1875, Tavernier, alongside Walter Paris, leased space on Alvarado Street, establishing the first dedicated artist studio in Monterey. Tavernier's connection with Monterey led to his marriage to Lizzie Fulton in San Francisco in February 1877, whom he initially met in Monterey in 1876.[3]
Eventually, he continued westward to Hawaii, where he worked as a landscape painter. He was fascinated by Hawaii’s erupting volcanoes—a subject that was to pre-occupy him for the rest of his life, which was spent in Hawaii, Canada, and the western United States. Tavernier died from alcoholism on 18 May 1889 in Honolulu, Hawaii.[4]
Tavernier's students included D. Howard Hitchcock, Amédée Joullin, Charles Rollo Peters and Manuel Valencia.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

In 2014, the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento, California, held an exhibition of more than 100 works by Tavernier, the first career retrospective of his work, accompanied by a catalog entitled Jules Tavernier: Artist & Adventurer. After the Crocker, the exhibition moved to the Monterey Museum of Art.[5][6]
