Born on May 21, 1873 in the 19th arrondissement of Paris, this French painter, cartoonist and illustrator was an indispensable talent of the era.
The beginnings of his artistic journey took Wély to China, where he ventured into a commercial career. But it was in Paris where his true talent blossomed. In 1896, he signed his first drawings and shortly thereafter teamed up with Edmond Vernier, an artist known by the pseudonym "Dola." Together, as "Madola", they created illustrations for operetta booklets, which were printed in their own lithography workshop. In the following years, under the pseudonym "Jacques Wély", he designed numerous art prints of sheet music covers for renowned Parisian publishers such as Enoch. But his passion did not stop at illustration; the brushstrokes of his paintings were both humorous and tender, with his depictions of women and occasional still lifes often in line with Post-Impressionism.
Wély's flair was soon noticed by major publishers and magazine houses such as Rouff, Albin Michel, Jules Tallandier, and Pierre Lafitte, for whom he became an indispensable cartoonist. But despite his success and growing popularity, Wély's life was tragically short. He opened a new studio in Montfort-l'Amaury in 1908, but only two years later, on June 18, 1910, he succumbed to tuberculosis at his home in Meudon. Despite his untimely demise, Wély left a legacy of prints and works that firmly established his presence and talent in the Belle Époque art world.
