1860 – 1943

French painter. After winning the Grand Prix at the École des Beaux-Arts in Toulouse, he moved to Paris (1879) to study at the École des Beaux-Arts there under Jean-Paul Laurens, who encouraged his interest in Veronese and other Venetian painters. The literary inspiration of his early work was reflected in such paintings as Paolo de Malatesta and Francesca da Rimini in Hell (1883; Carcassonne, Musée des Beaux-Arts) based on Dante, for which he won a medal at the Salon of 1883.Show more
