Notes for Jacques RAVERAT
Jacques Pierre Paul Raverat (1885–1925) was a French painter.

Raverat was the son of Georges Pierre Raverat.

He married the English painter Gwen Darwin, in 1911, the daughter of George Darwin and granddaughter of Charles Darwin.[1] They had two daughters, Elisabeth (born 1916), who married the Norwegian politician Edvard Hambro and Sophie Jane (born 1919) who married the Cambridge scholar M.G.M. Pryor and later Charles Gurney. Raverat suffered from a form of multiple sclerosis and died following complications of it.

Before relocating, in 1920, to Vence in France [2] the couple were active members of an intellectual circle known as the "Neo-Pagans" and centred round Rupert Brooke. They were also part of the Bloomsbury Group. Other group members included Virginia Woolf, John Maynard Keynes, Vanessa Bell and Lytton Strachey.

In 2004, his grandson, William Pryor edited the complete correspondence between Raverat, his wife and Virginia Woolf which was published as Virginia Woolf and the Raverats.[3]
