BESNARD, PAUL ALBERT (1849 )

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 821 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BER-BLA
BESNARD, PAUL ALBERT (1849 ) , French painter, was born in Paris and studied at the Ecole des
Beaux
 -Arts, winning the Prix de Rome in 1874. Until about 188o he followed the academic tradition, but then broke away completely, and devoted himself to the study of colour and light as conceived by the impressionists. The
realism
  of this group never appealed to his bold
imagination
 , but he applied their technical method to ideological and decorative works on a large scale, such as his frescoes at the Sorbonne, the Ecole de Pharmacie, the Salle des Sciences at the hotel de ville, the mairie of the first arrondissement, and the chapel of
Berck
 
hospital
 
    See Also:
, for which he painted twelve " Stations of the
Cross
  " in an entirely modern spirit. A
great
  virtuoso, he achieved brilliant successes alike in water-colour, pastel, oil and etching, both in
portraiture
 , in landscape and in decoration. A good example of his daring unconventionality is his portrait of Madame Rejane; and his close
analysis
  of light can be studied in his picture " Femme qui se chauffe " at the Luxembourg in Paris.
