Jean-Baptiste Gallet was born in Lyon in 1820 and studied from 1834-40 under the tutelage of Augustin-Alexandre Thierriat at the École des Beaux-Arts in Lyon, where he enrolled using the name 'Gallay'. Like his master, he specialised in painting flower and fruit still life paintings, and he exhibited from 1842-43 in Lyon and in Paris from 1847 until his early death in 1848.
