Joullin was born on June 13, 1862, in San Francisco to French parents.[1] He studied painting at the Art School of San Francisco and then with painter Jules Tavernier. In 1884, while in Paris, he became impoverished.

From 1892 on, he specialized in the Amerindian motifs and traveled to Mexico and New Mexico to paint.
He created the painting called Driving The Golden Spike on the southern arch of the rotunda of the Montana State Capitol.[2] For his services Joullin was paid a sum of $500.
From 1900 through 1905, he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris[3] and attended the Académie Julian.[4] On May 25, 1907 he married the artist Lucille Wilcox Joullinin New York.[5] Joullin died at his home in San Francisco on February 3, 1917.[6] His works were treasured by several museums in the United States, including M.H.
