Joseph-Desire Court
a painter of historical subjects and portraits, was born at Rouen in 1797. He became a pupil at the École des Beaux-Arts under Gros, and after carrying off the principal honours there pursued his studies still further at Rome. High expectations were formed of him when he exhibited in 1827 'The Death of Caesar,' a work manifesting earnest thought, and a conscientious handling of the facts of history. This is now preserved in the Louvre. Having shown himself in this and other works a vigorous painter, capable of seizing a subject with a masterly grasp, and having also in the region of portrait painting proved himself an artist of no common merit, he eventually dissipated his talents in the production of a series of empty official pictures painted by order of Louis Philippe. He died in Paris in 1865. The Bordeaux Museum has a portrait of Henri Fonfrede by him; that of Lyons, a 'Scene in the Deluge'; that of Rouen, Related Paintings of Joseph-Desire Court :. | marquis de La Fayette | Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Gilbert du Motier, marquis de La Fayette (1757-1834), represente en 1792 | Portrait de Marguerite Louise Cibiel et de Marie Aglaure Cibiel assises sur un sofa feuilletant un livre | Une jeune fille venant trouver le fleuve Scamandre ou Nymphe et Faune au bain | Portrait de Marguerite Louise Cibiel et de Marie Aglaure Cibiel assises sur un sofa, feuilletant un livre | Related Artists: georges braqueGeorges Braque (13 May 1882 --31 August 1963) was a major 20th century French painter and sculptor who, along with Pablo Picasso, developed the art movement known as Cubism.
