Born in 1854, the French painter and illustrator began his training with Henri Lehmann at the Academy of Fine Arts in Paris. Soon, however, the young artist was gripped by wanderlust and after prolonged travels through Europe, he finally accepted a position in England, which was to become his professional home.
In 1882 he took a job at the publishing house The Illustrated London News, where he illustrated newspapers and novels. He also illustrated the works of well-known authors of his day, including the writings of the committed social reformer Walter Besant.
Forestier did not find his artistic destiny, however, until several years later, when he began to focus on historical and prehistoric subjects. He became famous for his extremely careful and detailed illustrations of life in a prehistoric Iron Age village near Glastonbury in England. The illustrations translated the results of early archaeological research in Europe into images, making the findings accessible to a wide audience. Forestier's work soon shaped the general idea of life in prehistoric times both in England and on the continent, and continues to have an impact today.
World famous is his 1922 depiction of "Nebraska Man," which portrays the "Neanderthal of North America" and was created in response to another archaeological dig. In his late work, however, the artist let his imagination run wild, scientifically the famous sketch was considered unhakltbar even then.
Forestier died in 1930 as a respected artist in his adopted country England.
