JULIO, E. B. D. Fabrino, artist, b. in the island of St. Helena in 1843; d. in Georgia, 15 Sept., 1879. He was the son of an Italian father and a Scotch mother. After a careful education in Paris, he removed to the United States at the be- ginning of the civil war, lived in the north several years, and, removing to New Orleans, established himself there as a portrait-painter. Revisiting Paris about 1872, he entered the studio of Leon Bonnat, and, returning to New Orleans two years later, established a school of art in that city. His best-known painting, "The Last Meeting of Lee and Jackson," is a composition of merit. His " Diana," the " Harvest Scene," exhibited at the Centennial in 1876, a sketch of " Kernochan's Plan- tation," and several Louisiana landscapes, although defective in color, show him to have been a rapid and skilful draughtsman, and an original artist.
