(Quingey 1828-Besançon 1909)
Peintre académique français, vainqueur du grand prix de Rome en 1854 et excellent portraitiste, Giacomotti est aujourd’hui méconnu du grand public.
Suite à mon mémoire d’Histoire de l’Art consacré à cet artiste, je vous propose par le biais d’Internet de découvrir ce personnage et surtout sa peinture.
Probably Francois-Edouard Picot's most famous painting, Cupid fleeing the sleeping Psyche.Books related to Felix-Henri Giacomotti, Francois-Edouard Picot and the French Romantics at Amazon.com:
