The vocation of Paul Jouve wakes up very early, during his frequent walks in the "Jardin des Plantes", while he is still a student at the School of Decorative Arts in Paris and the Museum of Natural History. At the age of fifteen, he already exhibited his paintings at the Salon des Artistes français. In 1904, he joined Hamburg and Antwerp, attracted by their large zoological gardens.

Considered one of the first animal painters in France, he illustrated between 1906 and 1914 The Jungle Book Rudyard Kipling.
