Jules Worms (1832–1924) was a French academic painter and illustrator. He made his debut at the Paris Salon of 1859. He is best known for genre scenes depicting Spanish life, often comical and painted in a highly realistic manner with many details and bright colors.
Worms also created illustrations for books, including Les Contes rémois by Louis de Chevigné , the Fables of La Fontaine in 1873, Don Quixote in 1884, Aladdin, and One Thousand and One Nights.
Worms continued to exhibit his paintings at the annual Paris Salon until the 1890s. His illustrated memoirs of travels in Spain, Souvenirs d’Espagne, impressions de voyages et croquis, was published in 1906. He continued to paint at least up until World War I, and his paintings continued to sell consistently in both France and the United States.
Worms was made a Knight of the Legion of Honour in 1876. He became a member of the Society of French Artists in 1883. Here below is a set of beautiful paintings by Jules Worms in the 19th century.
