About the Item

Auguste Adolphe CHAUVIN (Liege, 1810 – Liege 1884) Portrait of Coraline Oil on canvas Signed and dated lower right 91 x 68cm 1868 Auguste Adolphe Chauvin, born in Liège on October 25, 1810, was a painter of history, religious subjects, genre scenes and portraits. His parents left to work in Germany, and it was successively in Aix-la-Chapelle and then in Düsseldorf that Auguste Chauvin acquired his artistic training. In Aix around 1830 he was a pupil of J.B.J. Bastiné (ca. 1785-1844), founder of the drawing school; this Belgian had himself been a pupil of David. At the Düsseldorf Academy, Chauvin took lessons from Guillaume von Schadow (1788-1862), a Nazarene, who greatly appreciated him. Thanks to him, he became court painter in Neuwied, near Koblenz until 1841. From 1842 to 1880, he taught at the Academy of Fine Arts in Liège, of which he became the director in 1856, succeeding Joseph-Barthélemy Vieillevoye (1798-1855). The artist, Knight of the Order of Leopold (1861), died in his hometown on May 29, 1884, at the age of 73. The critic J. Bosmant calls him "cold, emphatic and stilted... but erudite". His history paintings fit perfectly into the romantic spirit of the time. As for his portraits of great bourgeois and celebrities, these are not devoid of quality. By way of example, the "Portrait of Father Lacordaire" exhibited in Brussels in 1848 earned him a gold medal. He exhibited many times in Germany, among others in Berlin, as well as in Antwerp and Brussels. Museum: Liege
