1831 Alexandre Painter Photographed Sculptor Falguiere
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Jean-Alexandre Joseph Falguière (1831-1900), the renowned French painter and sculptor, in the later years of his prolific career. Taken in 1890, the image offers a glimpse into the personal life of an artist who left an indelible mark on the art world of his time. Born in Bordeaux, Falguière studied under the tutelage of Alexandre Cabanel at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His early works were primarily in painting, but he later turned to sculpture, for which he is best known. His most famous sculptures include "The Thinker" and "The Awakening of the Seasons," which continue to captivate audiences today. Falguière's innovative approach to sculpture, characterized by its naturalism and fluidity, set him apart from his contemporaries. He was also a dedicated teacher, passing on his knowledge and passion for art to future generations. In this photograph, Falguière is depicted in a relaxed pose, seated in a chair with a pipe in hand. His expressive face, framed by a thick beard and mustache, reveals a man of deep thought and creativity. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the personal life of an artist who dedicated his life to the pursuit of artistic excellence. Falguière's legacy extends beyond his sculptures and paintings. His contributions to the art world influenced a generation of artists and continue to inspire contemporary artists today. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the human side of an artist whose works have left an indelible mark on art history.
