He is close, among other things, to the Art Nouveau movement . His younger brother is the animal sculptor André Réalier-Dumas (died in 1952). Biography Coming from an upper-middle-class family, Maurice Réalier-Dumas was the son of Pierre Paul Henri Réalier-Dumas (1834-1898), auditor at the Council of State then sub-prefect of Montbéliard and Villeneuve-sur-Lot , and Jeanne Thérèse Goubie, daughter of the Parisian stockbroker Joseph Goubie who owned the Hôtel Bonaparte. Born in Paris at 57, rue Saint-Lazare , Maurice Réalier-Dumas spent part of his childhood and adolescence in Villeneuve-sur-Lot where his father was stationed. He became friends with Georges Leygues . In 1879, he entered the Paris School of Fine Arts as a student , where he received instruction from the painter Jean-Léon Gérôme . From this time, Maurice Réalier-Dumas frequented Maison Fournaise , a restaurant- guinguette located in Chatou where his father bought a vacation home . There Maurice meets Auguste Renoir and a good number of Impressionists but especially Louise Alphonsine Papillon, the daughter of Alphonse Fournaise, the owner of the restaurant. Alphonsine Papillon quickly became a recurring subject in Renoir's works as she is believed to be depicted in the famous painting, Le Déjeuner des canotiers . But the identification of Alphonsine is subject to controversy. As such, Jean Renoir , the son of Auguste Renoir, in his book, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, mon père , wrote: “The young woman leaning [ sic ] on the balustrade is Alphonsine Fournaise, the beautiful Alphonsine as she was called regulars at his parents' restaurant. . However, this statement must be qualified since it comes from the confidences that Pierre Renoir made to his son at the end of his life. Furthermore, Jean Renoir also admits his license regarding the stories he tells about his father, in the preface to his book by writing: “History is an essentially subjective genre. Nevertheless, we find Alphonsine Papillon in a certain way in the portrait commissioned by Monsieur Fournaise from Renoir in 1875, The Lady with a Smile or Alphonsine Fournaise , preserved in the collections of the São Paulo Art Museum . Furthermore, Maurice Réalier-Dumas painted a portrait of Alphonsine Fournaise, entitled Alphonsine à l'ombrelle from 1896 (private collection). We find Alphonsine standing on a bank, dressed in a white dress and holding a parasol in her left hand. This portrait illustrates the intimate bond that could have existed between her and him. On the exterior walls of the Seine side restaurant of Maison Fournaise , you can still see a series of murals created by Maurice Réalier-Dumas and entitled The Four Ages of Life . For conservation reasons, the murals were removed and replaced by facsimiles . The originals are in the Fournaise museum which occupies the upper part of the restaurant and which traces the history of the old tavern and the artists who frequented it. Although he frequented the impressionists, Réalier-Dumas kept his distance: he chose to go on trips and drew on a form of orientalism , the style of his first noted paintings. Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, but also Spain and Italy left a lasting impression on the painter who exhibited regularly from 1886 at the Salon of French Artists . The Ministry of Colonies solicited him and placed an order. In 1908, he received the Legion of Honor . In the meantime, he settled permanently in Chatou at 1, rue d'Epremesnil and produced in the early 1890s a series of paintings marked by impressionism ( Le Goûter sur l'herbe , 1892). If he was in turn a history painter , landscaper , orientalist , intimist , it is as a poster artist that Réalier-Dumas surprises: at the end of 1896, he joined the Society of Painters-Lithographers when he began to produce particularly elegant formats, all in height, taking up the theme of the young woman. Three of his productions are reproduced by Jules Chéret in his review Les Maîtres de l'annonce (1895-1900), namely: Incandescence par le Gaz Système Auer (1892), Champagne Jules Mumm (1895) and Société Internationale de Peinture et de sculpture Georges Petit Gallery (1897). Réalier-Dumas also contributes to the art magazine L'Estampe moderne 4 and illustrates some piano scores. In 1911, Georges Leygues, who had in the meantime become a minister, remembered their friendship and contacted him to create a large mural for the nave of the Sainte-Catherine church in Villeneuve-sur-Lot : entitled The Theory of saints — there are 66 — which he completed in 1920. Maurice Réalier-Dumas died on December 25, 1928. He bequeathed a large part of his paintings to the town of Villeneuve-sur-Lot. He is buried in the Chatou cemetery where the name of a square was given to him. Courtesy Wikipedia

He began as a painter, but at the turn of the century focused on lithography, for which he is most well-known. He was awarded the Chevalier de l’Ordre de Leopold by King Albert I of Belgium in 1933. Early life Albert de Belleroche, Lithograph of the artist's mother, Mrs. Harry Vane Milbank, circa 1900 Albert Gustavus De Belleroche was born on 22 October 1864 in Swansea. His parents were Brusseler Alice and Edward Charles, the Marquis de Belleroche, who died when he was three years old. His mother was the daughter of Desire Baruch. In March 1871, she married Harry Vane Millbank, the son of MP Frederick Milbank. He grew up in Paris and London and he used the surname Milbank until he was 30 years of age. He attained the title of count from his father's family of French Huguenot ancestry. Career and personal life La Danseuse (model Lili Grenier), circa 1890 In 1882, Belleroche studied briefly at Carolus-Duran's art school in Paris, preferring to study the masters like Johannes Vermeer and Sandro Botticelli at museums. He was a friend and studio-mate of John Singer Sargent in Paris and London, with the men making many sketches and paintings of each other. Some of the works that Sargent made of Belleroche are suggestive of an emotional relationship between the men and Belleroche may have been the love of Sargent's life. Dorothy Moss, an art historian, states "Sargent's portraits of Belleroche, in their sensuality and intensity of emotion, push the boundaries of what was considered appropriate interaction between men at this period." Belleroche was financially independent and did not need or desire to obtain work through commissions. Instead, he chose who he would paint, which included Japanese wrestler...
