Henri Gervex | Academic painter

Henri Gervex (Paris, 10 December 1852 - 7 June 1929) was a French painter who studied painting under Alexandre Cabanel, Pierre-Nicolas Brisset and Eugène Fromentin.

His early work belonged almost exclusively to the mythological genre, which served as an excuse for the painting of figure, but not always in the best of taste.

His Rolla of 1878, based on a poem by Alfred de Musset, was rejected by the jury of the Salon de Paris for immorality, since it depicted a scene from the poem of a naked prostitute after having sex with her client.

Rabindranath Tagore | Metaphorical painter | Page 1

Born in Calcutta into a wealthy Brahmo family, Rabindranath Tagore went on to become one of the most revered poet-philosophers of his time.

In 1913, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, the first non-Westerner to be honored with the award.

A poet, author, playwright and artist, Tagore's creative output was immense.
