About the Item

Alexandre Cabanel (1823–1889) Portrait Oil on canvas Signed lower left Alexandre Cabanel (1823–1889) was a prominent French academic painter known for his mastery of Neoclassical and Academic art. Born on September 28, 1823, in Montpellier, France, Cabanel displayed exceptional artistic talent from a young age. He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he later became a professor. Cabanel garnered acclaim for his mastery of Neoclassical and Academic art, particularly seen in his mythological and historical paintings. Awards, including the prestigious Prix de Rome in 1845, solidified his status among the French elite and European royalty. As a key figure in the art world, Cabanel served as the president of the Société des Artistes Français, leaving an indelible mark on 19th-century French art. Cabanel's painting style reflects a dedication to Academic principles, emphasizing classical beauty, idealized forms, and meticulous technique. Inspired by Neoclassicism, his works often depict mythological, historical, or biblical themes. Known for technical virtuosity, Cabanel's smooth brushstrokes demonstrate a high level of finish and attention to detail. Celebrated for portraying idealized beauty, his figures, whether divine or mortal, exude a timeless and harmonious aesthetic. Cabanel's grand compositions, such as "The Birth of Venus" and "The Death of Moses," breathe life into classical tales, showcasing his narrative prowess. His success in the Academic establishment, evidenced by numerous awards, underscores Cabanel's influence in shaping 19th-century academic art. While criticized for adherence to Academic conventions during an era of artistic innovation, Cabanel's legacy endures as a representative of French Academic tradition.
