Constantin Font
Born on January 11, 1890, in Auch and died in 1954 in Paris, Constantin Font is a French artist, painter of genre, nudes, landscapes, orientalist, sculptor and engraver. An outstanding member of the Society of French Artists, he had been a student of Fernand Cormon. After obtaining a mention in 1910 at the Salon, he obtained a silver medal in 1921, the year of his Prix de Rome. Font exhibited the same year at the Salon of French Artists. Since then, he appears with honor at the demonstrations of this Society, where he was awarded the gold medal in 1922. Font won the Grand Prix of Athens and was a member of the Toulouse School of Fine Arts and a member of the institute in 1926. He won the Grand prize of the International Exhibition of 1937 and was made Knight of the Legion of Honor in 1935. Font died in Paris in 1954.

- Hercules and Omphale, Old Master Painting, Mannerism, Baroque, Mythology, PragueLocated in Greven, DEHercules and Omphale Oil on panel, 52 x 41 cm According to legend, Hercules had to make atonement and became a slave to the Lydian queen Omphale. When she found out who her slave was, she married him. Falling for his mistress and made effeminate by the luxury of court life, the former hero allowed himself to become the laughing stock of the court. He dressed in women's clothes, spun wool and did other women's work, whereas Omphale wore his lion's skin and carried a wooden club. When the time of punishment was over, the hero realised his delusion and left Omphale. So far, the painting could not be clearly assigned to an artist. Nevertheless, it impresses with its fluid and convincing painting, whose colourfulness and conception are reminiscent of the Prague School around Bartholomäus Spranger. This work follows an engraving and an etching made by Michel Dorigny in 1643 after a design by Simon Vouet. It shows the same scene but the print differs in minor details from the present painting (see e.g. the head of the lion) and the treatment of the faces seems to be painted more detailed and refined. So far there is no painting...Category
