A former student of Gustave Courbet, he joined the National Guard in which he was appointed officer. Already involved in the International Workers' Association (AIT), he participated in the Paris Commune and commanded the 22nd battalion, responsible for defending the Vanves fort. He was sentenced in absentia to deportation in 1872. Exiled in Geneva, he participated in the anti-authoritarian split in the International. He is married to Émilie Noro, who will testify from the Versailles prisons, but he has a relationship in exile with Paule Minck. The Noro couple returned to Paris after the amnesty of 1881, before settling in the colonies of North Africa. Jean-Baptiste Noro continues his activities as a painter and drawing teacher in Algeria and Tunisia. Free shipping for the European Union 500 euros for International
