The French genre and portrait painter, was born on May 13, 1865 at Coucouran in the Ardeche. He was a pupil of Jean Leon Gerome at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and also studied under Pascal Dagnan-Bouveret and G.C.E. Courtois. Enjolras made his debut at the Societe des Artistes Francais in 1889 with an oil painting and continued to exhibit there until 1909.
