About the Item

Emmanuel COULANGE-LAUTREC (Nîmes, 1824 – Nîmes, 1898) The medieval harp player Oil on canvas Signed and dated lower right 35 x 59,5 cm 1871 A native of Nîmes, the young Emmanuel Coulange-Lautrec left, after having taken some lessons at the École des Beaux-Arts in Nîmes, for that of Marseille to study architecture and decoration under the teaching of François Pierre Barry. He began to exhibit regularly in regional fairs including Marseille where his art was noticed: "I find a lot of pleasure in the composition of Mr. Coulange-Lautrec: family at the sea bath. The poetry of the sky and the water emerges well from this summer evening. There is also a great solidity of brush in the rocks that border the sea and in the women who come to bathe. (in Tribune artistique et littéraire du Midi dated January 1, 1869, p 38) After the good reviews received from art lovers, the artist decided to present himself in Paris where he had the opportunity to exhibit at the Salon in 1869, 1870 and 1876. He then made several trips to Tunisia and Algeria and was thus associated with the orientalist movement. He also brought back a monumental painting View of the city and the ports of Algiers which was acquired by the State. From 1877, he became a professor at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Marseille where he taught perspective in particular. He will have among his pupils the painter Jean-Roch Isnard (1845-1890), also a pupil of Gérôme. Representative of the Provençal school of the time, Coulange-Lautrec will also have the opportunity to create large decorations in churches, private mansions and castles in the Midi that will make his reputation. He died of a stroke on August 26, 1898 at the Hôtel du Petit Saint-Jean in Nîmes. Emmanuel Coulange-Lautrec is the father of the painter and poster artist Jules Coulange-Lautrec (1861-1950).
