Jean-Bapiste Barrelon comes from a family of locksmiths, originally from Saint-Chamond (Loire). He studied at the School of Fine Arts in Lyon where he received a silver medal won in the painting class of Claude
He then spent a few years in Paris where he was a pupil of the painter Charles Gleyre (1806 - 1874) and followed, from 1845, training with the glass painter Alexandre Mauvernay (1810-1898) living in Saint- Galmier (Loire). He exhibited a painting at the Salon of 1847, The Milk Sisters, then of 1848: The Virgin, the Child Jesus and Saint John[3].
The church of Boisset-lès-Montrond has a painting representing Saint Joseph and the Child Jesus signed Barrelon and dated 1846[4].
He joined forces with Antoine Bessac and the flower painter Joséphus Veyrat seven years later, in 1851, to set up his own stained glass business in Grigny, about ten kilometers from Lyon. Antoine Bessac became his partner in 1859. The cartonnier Figuière worked with him in 1859, then François Danzas in 1864. His studio was in Grigny, around 1852-1855, and his Lyon address was 122, rue Saint-Georges[5 ]. This association was to be dissolved eleven years later. Jean-Baptiste Barrelon was then the only signatory of the stained glass windows he produced from 1864. Although his main activity was carried out in the Lyon region and to the west, in the Loire department, he extended his field action by working in countries such as Ireland, Italy and even New Caledonia.
His company was taken over on June 19, 1878 by one of his employees, Georges Nicolas Dufêtre.
