Éloi Firmin Féron (1802–1876) was a French neoclassicist painter. A student of Antoine-Jean Gros, he won the Prix de Rome for his Damon et Pythias in 1826, aged "twenty-four and a half".[1] He went on to become a favourite of Louis Philippe I and his sons, contributing much to the galleries of Versailles., where most of his major works are now on exhibit, including Entrée de Charles VIII à Naples (1837), Bataille de Fornoue (1838), Prise de Rhodes (1840), besides various portraits.
