Diaz was born in Bordeaux. At the age of ten, Diaz became an orphan, and troubled by his early years. His feet were bitten by Modongmu from reptiles nearby, Sevres, where he was brought to life with his mother's friend. The bite was badly dressed and eventually he lost his leg. However, the fact that it replaced his legs. Pile of fame.
At the age of fifteen, he entered the studio in Sevres, in the decoration of a porcelain work occupied him later turned to painting. The scenes of Turkey and the East attracted him, and he went on to paint Oriental characters in colorful costumes; many of these paintings are still extant. He also spent a lot of time barbizon. One of his teachers and friends in Paris is Francois Souchon.
About 1831 Dias met Theodore Russo, for whom he had a great admiration, despite Rousseau's four years. Dias in Fontainebleau found that Rousseau painted his splendid picture of the forest and determined in the same way if possible paint. However, Rousseau is not good at that time, Zhang to the world, so it is difficult to close. Once, Diaz followed him in a sneaky way in the forest, with his leg resistance, his painter and a Dodge, trying to observe his method of work. After a while, Diaz found a way to become friendly with Rousseau and revealed his desire to understand the latter technique. Rousseau moved with admiration of the passionate words, and finally taught Diaz all he knew.
Dias in many photos on display at the Paris salon in 1851 and was decorated in the Franco German war, he went to Brussels. After 1871, his work became fashionable and the collector's estimate was gradually rising, and he continued to cooperate successfully. Dias's best picture is his forest scene and the storm, which is the rest of his fame. There are a few examples of his work in the Le Louvre Museum, and the museum in three small digital pictures of Wallace, Hertfordshire building. Perhaps the most dramatic works of Diaz are "rafay AUX PERLES" (1857, is located in Le Louvre Museum); and "the forest" (1868); "the storm" and "Fontainebleau forest" (1870, Liz).
Diaz himself did not know the students well, but Francois Visconti showed his works to a certain extent and the way he followed his obvious tree painting. For some time, Jean - Francois Miller also painted the popular theme of the then publicly announced that the imitation of small numbers of Diaz. Renoir once said, "my idol is Dias". In 1876, while visiting the tomb of his son, he caught a cold. He went to Menton to try to restore his health, but in November 18th of that year, he died. In 1851, he decorated the Legion of honor with Knight (Knight).
