Jules André (1807-1869) was a French landscape painter born in Paris. He trained under André Jolivard and Louis Étienne Watelet and earned a respected reputation as a landscape artist. His work stood halfway between the traditions of the classical French landscape painters and the approach of the modern school, making him a useful example of the shift toward a more direct engagement with nature.
He travelled through Belgium, southern France and the Rhine region, and also worked at the porcelain manufactory in Sèvres. He produced several decorative panels for the new Louvre Palace and for the Hôtel d'Albe. He received a second-class medal in 1835 and, in 1853, the Légion d'honneur. He died in Paris in 1869. Paintings by him are held in the Luxembourg and Lille galleries.
His son, Edmond Maethe Alphonse André (1844-1877), studied with him and with Isidore Pils, and became a genre painter of some standing. In 1876 he painted Halt of Zouaves at Patay. Edmond died in Algiers in 1877.
