Jean Béraud (1849-1935)

Jean Béraud è stato un pittore Francese di scuola impressionista.

Si dedicò alla pittura di genere, in prevalenza dell'ambiente parigino.

Jean Béraud nacque a San Pietroburgo con la sorella gemella Melania, poiché suo padre, scultore, lavorava probabilmente alle opere della cattedrale di Sant'Isacco.

Nel 1853 suo padre morì ed il giovane Béraud rientrò a Parigi con la madre, Geneviève Eugénie Jacquin, e le tre sorelle.

Stanislaw Zoladz, 1952 | Watercolour painter

Stanislaw Zoladz was born in Poland, and has studied at Kraków Academy of Fine Arts. Since 1978 he lives and works in Sweden.

To find motifs for his paintings, Stanislaw is always on the hunt for exiting light settings.

In the summer he paints where growth gives way to rocks by the water in Stockholm's archipelago.

Nature is a predominant theme in his works of art.

But quite often an abandoned tractor, or a red cottage by the horizon, also remind us of human presence.

Elihu Vedder | Symbolist painter

Elihu Vedder (February 26, 1836 - January 29, 1923) was an American symbolist painter, book illustrator and poet, born in New York City.

He is best known for his fifty-five illustrations for Edward FitzGerald's translation of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (deluxe edition, published by Houghton Mifflin).

Elihu Vedder was born February 26, 1836 in New York City, the son of Dr. Elihu Vedder Sr. and Elizabeth Vedder. His parents were cousins. His father, a dentist, decided to try his luck in Cuba, and this had a profound impact on Elihu Jr.'s childhood.

Anne-Louis Girodet | Neoclassical painter

Anne-Louis Girodet [Anne-Louis Girodet de Roucy-Trioson 1767-1824] is a French painter whose works exemplify the first phase of Romanticism in French art.

Girodet began to study drawing in 1773. He later became a student of the Neoclassical architect Étienne-Louis Boullée, with whose encouragement he joined the studio of Jacques-Louis David in late 1783 or early 1784.

Girodet won the Prix de Rome 1789 for his Joseph Recognized by His Brothers, which shows the influence of David’s Neoclassicism.
