His celebrated Abdication of Charles V (Tournai), shown at the 1841 Salon, was subsequently toured in Belgium and Germany. He returned to Belgium and settled in Brussels in 1841 with a considerable reputation as a history painter, though he also painted portraits. He was made chevalier of the order of Leopold and of the Legion of Honour in 1841 and, having declined a barony in 1862, was made president of the Belgian Royal Academy in 1880. In 1872 he exhibited at the Royal Academy in London. He died in Brussels on 20 November 1887.

LOUIS ETIENNE WATELET

T E A C H E R O F PA U L D E L A R O C H E

S T U D E N T O F P I E R R E H E N R I D E V A L E N C I E N N E S Louis Etienne Watelet (1780-1866) Louis Watelet was born in Paris in 1780 Watelet was a regular contributor to the Paris Salon, between 1800 and 1857, and he won medals in 1810 and 1819. Despite being a Salon favourite Watelet’s art was imbued with a sense of adventure as his works broke free of the rigid structure of the academies. As Pierre Miquel notes in his book (The French Landscape 1824-1874, The School of Nature), Watelet began a process of emancipation away from the academies. Watelet’s work is in the permanent collections of at least sixteen European museums, a sign of the high esteem in which his work is held.

PIERRE-HENRI DE VALENCIENNES ( D E C E M B E R 6 , 1 7 5 0 – F E B R UA RY 1 6 , 1 8 1 9 ) WA S

A F R E N C H PA I N T E R .

Valenciennes worked in Rome from 1778 to 1782, where he made a number of landscape studies directly from nature, sometimes painting the same set of trees or house at different times of day.[1] He theorized on this idea in Advice to a Student on Painting, Particularly on Landscape (1800), developing a concept of a "landscape portrait" in which the artist paints a landscape directly while looking upon it, taking care to capture its particular details.[1] Although he spoke of this as a type of painting mainly of interest to "amateurs",[2] as distinguished from the higher art of the academies, he found it of great interest, and of his own works the surviving landscape portraits have been the most noted by later commentators.[1] He in particular urged artists to capture the distinctive details of a scene's architecture, dress, agriculture, and so on, in order to give the landscape a sense of belonging to a specific place; in this he probably influenced other French artists active in Italy who took an anthropological approach to painting rural areas and customs, such as Hubert Robert and Achille-Etna Michallon.[2]

MICHEL CORNEILLE THE ELDER

Corneille was born in Orleans. He was one of many who studied with the celebrated master Simon Vouet

SIMON VOUET ( 1 5 9 0 - 1 6 4 9 )

Teacher of Michel Corneille the Elder

Vouet was born in Paris, and was a pupil

of his father, Laurent Vouet. Precocious in

talent, he is said to have painted portraits

in England at the age of 14. He

accompanied the French ambassador to

Constantinople 1611 and stayed in Italy

1612–27, becoming president of the

Academy of St Luke 1624. Eclectic in

style, he was influenced by Caravaggio,

Guido Reni, and Paolo Veronese, but

shaped and refined these elements

successfully into a form of classicism that

had a profound influence on 17th-century

French art.

G A B R I E L F R A N Ç O I S

D O Y E N

( 1 7 2 6 – 5 J U N E 1 8 0 6 )

His passion for art prevailed over his father's wish, and he became in his

twelfth year a pupil of Charles-André van Loo. Making rapid progress, he

obtained at twenty the Grand Prix and in 1748 set out for Rome. He studied

the works of Annibale Carracci, Pietro Berrettini da Cortona, Giulio

Romano and Michelangelo, then visitedNaples, Venice, Bologna and other

Italian cities, and in 1755 returned to Paris. At first unappreciated and

disparaged, he resolved by one grand effort to achieve a reputation, and in

1758 he exhibited his Death of Virginia. It was completely successful, and

procured him admission to the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture.

Among his greatest works are reckoned the Miracle des Ardents, painted for

the church of St Genevieve at St Roch (1773); the Triumph of Thetis, for the

chapel of the Invalides; and the Death of St Louis, for the chapel of the

Military School. In 1776 he was appointed professor at the Academy. Soon

after the beginning of the French Revolution he accepted the invitation

of Catherine II of Russia. and settled at St Petersburg, where he was loaded

with honors and rewards. He died there on 5 June 1806.

S T U D E N T O F B E N E D E T T O L U T I

Carle Vanloo was born into a family of painters, but eventually

overshadowed all of his relatives with his versatile artistic talents. He

trained with an Italian painter and a French sculptor and also made

numerous travels throughout Italy and France. After his father’s death in

1712, Vanloo’s education was placed in the hands of his older brother.

They moved to Rome two years later where he began formal studies.

They then moved on to Paris and worked together on commissions. IN his

teenage years, Vanloo won first prize in drawing at the Academie Royale

and also was awarded the Prix de Rome. He lived in Italy until 1733,

painting religious and mythological frescoes. He then returned to Paris

and painted portraits of the royal family and decorated their apartments at

Fontainbleau and Versailles. During his lifetime, Vanloo was given the title

of Premier Painter to the King under Louis XV and also became a noble.

FRANÇOIS BOUCHER

S E P T E M B E R 1 7 0 3 – 3 0 M AY 1 7 7 0 )

Born in Paris, the son of a lace designer Nicolas Boucher, François

Boucher (pronounced frahn-swah bōō-shay) was perhaps the most

celebrated decorative artist of the 18th century, with most of his work

reflecting the Rococo style. At the young age of 17, Boucher was

apprenticed by his father to François Lemoyne. In 1731, he was

admitted to the Académie de peinture et de sculpture as a historical

painter, and became a faculty member in 1734. Teacher of:

Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825), François-Hubert

Drouais (1727-1775),Jean-Honore Fragonard (1732-1806) in

circa 1749.

C H A R L E S - J O S E P H N AT O I R E

( 3 M A R C H 1 7 0 0 – 2 3 A U G U S T 1 7 7 7 )

French painter in the Rococo manner, a pupil

of François Lemoyne and director of the French

Academy in Rome, 1751-1775. Considered during

his lifetime the equal of François Boucher, he

played a prominent role in the artistic life of France.

He is remembered above all for the series of

the History of Psyche for Germain Boffrand's

oval salon de la Princesse in the Hôtel de Soubise,

Paris, and for the tapestry cartoons for the series

of the History of Don Quixote, woven at

the Beauvais tapestry manufacture, most of which

are at the Château de Compiègne.

BE NE DE T TO LUT I ( 1666 – 1 7 2 4 )

S T U D E N T O F A N T O N D O M E N I C O G A B B I A N I

Luti was born in Florence. He moved

to Rome in 1691 where he was patronized

by Cosimo III de' Medici, Grand Duke of

Tuscany, an enthusiast for the pastelportrait.

Luti was one of the first artists to work in

pastels as the final composition as opposed to

initial studies for paintings or frescoes. He also

worked inoils and painted frescoes for

the Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano.

Luti was also a successful art dealer and ran a

school of drawing; among his pupils

were Giovanni Domenico Piastrini, Giovanni

Paolo Panini, Jean-Baptiste van Loo,

and Charles-André van Loo.

ANTON DOMENICO GABBIANI

S T U D E N T O F DANDINI (13 February 1652 - 22 November 1726) was an Italian painter,

born in Florence, and active in a late Baroque style

He first apprenticed with the Medici court portrait

painter Justus Sutterman, then with the Florentine Vincenzo

Dandini; subsequently moved to Rome in 1673 he arrived in

Rome, where he studied under the Medici-

sponsored Accademia Fiorentina, led by Ciro Ferri and Ercole

Ferrata. This latter tutelage and his style has led Gabbiani to

be described as one of the ‘’Cortoneschi’’ or followers

of Cortona, albeit second-generation. In 1678-9, he traveled

to Venice, where he worked in the studio of Sebastiano

Bombelli, returning to his native Florence in 1680, where he

was often patronized by Grand Prince Ferdinando, the son of

the Grand Duke Cosimo III. He painted the portrait of his

patron surrounded by musicians (c. 1685; Pitti Palace). He

also frescoed the Apotheosis of Cosimo il Vecchio in the

ceiling of the Sala da Pranzo in the Villa di Poggio a Caiano.

Also worked in the church of San Frediano. By 1684, he

completed an Annunciation [1] for the Pitti Palace. He

completed a ‘’St Francis de Sales in Glory’’ (1685) for the

church of Santi Apostoli. His pupils included Giovanna

Fratellini, Ignazio Enrico Hugford (also a

biographer),Benedetto Luti, Ranieri del Pace, Giovanni

Battista and Tommaso Redi.

ALLORI & DANDINI

Alessandro Allori (1535-1607), teacher of:

Cristofano Allori (1577-1621), teacher of:

Cesar Dandini (1596-1657), teacher of:

Vincenzo Dandini (1609-1675), teacher of:

Anton Domenico Gabbiani

Cristofano Allori

Alessandro di Cristofano di Lorenzo del Bronzino Allori

(3 May 1535 - 22 September 1607) was an Italian portrait painter of the

late Mannerist Florentineschool.

Born in Florence, in 1540, after the death of his father, he was brought up

and trained in art by a close friend, often referred to as his 'uncle', the

mannerist painter Agnolo Bronzino, whose name he sometimes assumed

in his pictures. In some ways, Allori is the last of the line of prominent

Florentine painters, of generally undiluted Tuscan artistic heritage: Andrea

del Sarto worked with Fra Bartolomeo (as well as Leonardo da

Vinci), Pontormo briefly worked under Andrea, and trainedBronzino, who

trained Allori. Subsequent generations in the city would be strongly

influenced by the tide of Baroque styles pre-eminent in other parts of Italy.

Allori was one of the artists, working under Vasari, included in the

decoration of the Studiolo of Francesco I.

He is the father of Cristofano Allori (1577-1621).

JEAN-BAPTISTE CORNEILLE He learned to paint and etch in academic painter Jean-Baptiste Corneille's Paris studio.

Corneille was born in Paris between 1646 and 1649. He was the youngest

son of Michel Corneille the Elder of Orléans, and brother of the younger

Michel. He is known as "the younger Corneille". His devoted father was

his teacher and painstakingly prepared the youth for his future successes

as anhistorical painter. In 1664 he won the second prize and in 1668 the

first prize of the academy. He then went to study in Rome and, on his

return in 1675 was received into the Royal Academy, painting for his

reception-picture the "Punishment of Busiris by Hercules", now one of the

notable canvases in theLouvre. He painted in some of the Paris churches

and in 1679 finished his "Deliverance of St. Peter from Prison" for

the Cathedral of Notre-Dame. With Jacques Vouet he was employed on

the decorations of the Tuileries. In 1692 he was appointed professor in the

academy. He died in Paris on 12 April 1695.

AGNOL O BRONZINO

T E A C H E R O F A L E S S A N D R O

A L L O R I

Bronzino was born in Florence around 1503. According to

his contemporary Vasari, Bronzino was a pupil first

of Raffaellino del Garbo, and then of Pontormo. The latter

was ultimately the primary influence on Bronzino's

developing style and the young artist remained devoted to

his eccentric teacher. Indeed, Pontormo is thought to have

introduced a portrait of Bronzino as a child into one of his

series on Joseph in Egypt now in the National

Gallery, London.[1]Bronzino's early indebtedness to

Pontormo's instruction can be seen in the arresting little

Capponi Chapel in Santa Felicita, Florence. Towards the

end of his life, Bronzino took a prominent part in the

activities of the Florentine Accademia delle Arti del Disegno,

of which he was a founding member in 1563. The

painter Alessandro Allori was his favourite pupil, and

Bronzino was living in the Allori family house at the time of

his death in Florence in 1572 (Alessandro was also the

father of Cristofano Allori).[3] Bronzino spent the majority of

his career in Florence.

PONTORMO ( M A Y 2 4 , 1 4 9 4 — J A N UA R Y 2 , 1 5 5 7 )

Student of DaVinci

Jacopo Carucci was born at Pontorme,

near Empoli. Vasari relates how the orphaned

boy, "young, melancholy and lonely," was

shuttled around as a young apprentice:

Jacopo had not been many months in Florence

before Bernardo Vettori sent him to stay

with Leonardo da Vinci, and then withMariotto

Albertinelli, Piero di Cosimo, and finally, in 1512,

with Andrea del Sarto, with whom he did not

remain long, for after he had done the cartoons

for the arch of the Servites, it does not seem that

Andrea bore him any good will, whatever the

cause may have been.

Pontormo painted in and around Florence, often

supported by Medici patronage. A foray to Rome,

largely to see Michelangelo's work, influenced his

later style. Haunted faces and elongated bodies

are characteristic of his work.

GIORGIO VASARI

Vasari was born in Arezzo, Tuscany.

Recommended at an early age by his

cousin Luca Signorelli, he became a

pupil of Guglielmo da Marsiglia, a

skilful painter of stained glass. Sent

to Florence at the age of sixteen by

Cardinal Silvio Passerini, he joined the

circle of Andrea del Sarto and his

pupils Rosso Fiorentino, Jacopo

Pontormo where his humanist

education was encouraged. He was

befriended by Michelangelo whose

painting style would influence his own.

LEONARDO DA VINCI

( A P R I L 1 5 , 1 4 5 2 – M A Y 2 , 1 5 1 9 ) Leonardo commenced

his apprenticeship with Verrocchio in

1466, the year that Verrocchio's master,

the great sculptor Donatello, died. The

painter Uccello whose early experiments

with perspective were to influence the

development of landscape painting, was

a very old man. The painters Piero della

Francesca and Fra Filippo Lippi,

sculptor Luca della Robbia, and architect

and writer Alberti were in their sixties.

The successful artists of the next

generation were Leonardo's teacher

Verrocchio, Antonio Pollaiuolo and the

portrait sculptor, Mino da Fiesole whose

life like busts give the most reliable

likenesses of Lorenzo Medici's father

Piero and uncle Giovanni

VERROCCHIO

Verrocchio was born in Florence in 1435 to Michele di

Francesco Cioni, who worked as a tile and brick maker

and, later, as a tax collector. Michele never married, and

had to provide financial support for some members of his

family. Michele's fame rose upon his joining the Medici

court, in which he remained until his workshop moved

to Venice.

Many believe that Andrea started to work as a goldsmith in

the workshop of Giulio Verrocchi, but this is impossible as

Giuliano was born in 1447. It is more likely that he was

trained by Giuliano's father Francesco di Luca Verrocchio,

who was a rich and successful goldsmith and knew Andrea

as a youth. The possibility that he apprenticed

with Donatello remains unconfirmed. His first efforts

in painting date probably from the 1460s, when he worked

in Pratoalongside Filippo Lippi.

Louis de Boullogne II (1657-1733)

and

(AKA Bon Boulloge, 1606 or 1609-1674).

Louis Boullogne the Elder was one of 14

founders of the French Academy in 1648.

GUIDO RENI Born in Bologna into a family of musicians,

Guido Reni was the son of Daniele Reni and

Ginevra de’ Pozzi. As a child of nine, he was

apprenticed under the Bolognese studio of

Denis Calvaert. Soon after, he was joined in

that studio by Albani and Domenichino. He may

also have trained with a painter by the name of

Ferrantini. When Reni was about twenty years

old, the three Calvaert pupils migrated to the

rising rival studio, named Accademia degli

Incamminati (Academy of the "newly

embarked", or progressives), led by Lodovico

Carracci. They went on to form the nucleus of a

prolific and successful school of Bolognese

painters who followed Annibale Carracci to

Rome. Like many other Bolognese painters,

Reni's painting was thematic and eclectic in

style.

DENYS CALVAERT

Denis Calvaert or Denys Calvaert (1540-1619)

was a Flemishpainter born at Antwerp but living

mostly in Italy where he was known as Il

Fiammingo (the Fleming). Calvaert was a

profound student of architecture, anatomy,

and history, exceedingly accurate in perspective

and graceful in design. After studying landscape-

painting for some time in his native city (the

Antwerp "Record of Artists" or "Liggeren" (1556-

57), gives his name as Caluwaert), he first

studied under Christiaen van Queecborn.

He then went to Bologna, where worked

under Prospero Fontana.

PROSPERO FONTANA

Fontana was born in Bologna, and became a

pupil of Innocenzo da Imola. He afterwards

worked for Perin del Vaga in the Palazzo Doria

in Genoa. Towards 1550, it is reported

thatMichelangelo introduced him to Pope Julius

IIIas a portrait-painter; and he was pensioned at

the pontifical court. He later joined Vasari's

studio in Florence, and worked in frescoes at

the Palazzo Vecchio (1563-65).

ANDREA DEL SARTO

Andrea was born in Gualfonda, close

to Florence, in either 1486 or 1487: he was

one of four children to Agnolo, a tailor (sarto).

By 1494 Andrea was apprenticed to

a goldsmith, and then to a

skillful woodcarver and inferior painter

named Gian Barile, with whom he remained

until 1498. According to Vasari, he then

apprenticed to Piero di Cosimo, and later

with Raffaellino del Garbo (Carli).

LOUIS GALLOCHE

Louis Galloche (24 August 1670,

Paris - 21 July 1761) was a

French painter. A student of Louis

de Boullogne, his own students

included François

Lemoyne, Charles-Joseph

Natoire and François Boucher.
