is a French neoclassical painter. He is the son of the miniaturist painter Jérôme Langlois (1753-1804), who initially disapproved of his vocation as a painter. This did not, however, prevent Jérome-Martin Langlois from entering the workshop of Jacques-Louis David. He was commissioned by his master to make an unsigned copy of the assassinated Marat and he replaced Jean-Pierre Franque as assistant on the painting of the Sabines. First prize in Rome in 1809 with Priam at the feet of Achilles, he exhibited at the Painting Salon in 1805. Close to David, he was the last to paint his portrait when the latter was in exile in Brussels. In 1838, shortly before his death, he was named a member of the Institute.
