Life.
Baudry was born in 1828 in La Roche-sur-Yon in the Vendée. He studied art under Michel Martin Drolling and won the "Prix de Rome" in 1850 for his picture of "Zenobia found on the banks of the Araxes".
His talent from the first revealed itself as strictly academical, full of elegance and grace, but somewhat lacking originality
German education, so Hynais was taught at home. He began studying at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna in 1870, under Karl Wurzinger and August Eisenmenger, then at Anselm Feuerbach's school in spring 1873; he was considered to be one of his most promising students. He visited Italy and saw Rome in 1874 with Janez Šubic and again 1877 with Feuerbach.
Hynais lived in Paris from 1878 to 1893, where he learnt from Paul-Jacques-Aimé Baudry and Jean-Léon Gérome, and knew Alfons Mucha
