Paul Albert Besnard (Parigi 1849 - 1934)born in Paris, was the son of an artist; his father, Louis Adolphe, was a painter and his mother, Louise Pauline Vaillant, was an esteemed miniaturist, a pupil of Lizinska de Mirbel. Besnard first studied drawing and
painting with Jean-François Brémond and at 17 entered the École des Beaux-Arts, where he was taught by Alexandre Cabanel.
In 1874 he won the Prix de Rome with the canvas "Death of Timofane, tyrant of Corinth", and during his stay at Villa Medici he had the opportunity to meet Franz Liszt and his pupil André Worsmer, whose portrait he painted in 1877. his stay in Italy and, in
1879he married the sculptor Charlotte Dubray, daughter of the sculptor Gabriel-Vital Dubray, with whom he moved to England for three years, until 1884, exhibiting at the Royal Academy of Arts in London.
At the Paris Salon of 1886 his "Portrait of Madame Roger Jourdain" (today at the Musée d'Orsay), highlighted those characters that would become his true style, based on a very personal use of lights and shadows, influenced by the Impressionism and the Carolus-Duran technique.

- Dorian Gray at Opium Den from "The Picture of Dorian Gray" surreal portraitBy Jim DineLocated in New York, NYThis surreal etching portrait of Dorian Gray by Jim Dine in blue ink features the literary protagonist dressed in a white suit. His face is obscured by a mass of hair, tangles of which seem to grow from the sleeves, pant legs, and from beneath the jacket. Dine's notes are written on the image: at his feet reading "WHITE BOOTS" and "White Vinyl Suit" alongside the jacket. On the left edge of the image handwritten text reads "DORIAN GRAY AT OPIUM DEN". In Oscar Wilde's novel Dorian Gray keeps opium in an ornate box in his home, and frequents sites of consumption on the East side of London: “There were opium dens where one could buy oblivion, dens of horror where the memory of old sins could be destroyed by the madness of sins that were new”. An opium den is where Sybil's brother James discovers Dorian. The brother attempts to capture the man he believes is responsible for the death of his sister. Dorian flees to his home, ultimately slashing the portrait that has kept him young for so long. Etching by Jim Dine from one of his most important artist’s books – completely designed and illustrated by Dine. Study for the Rings on Dorian Gray’s Hand from “The Picture of Dorian Gray...Category
