Lucien Laurent-Gsell
Lucien Laurent-Gsell was born on November 19, 1860, in Paris. His father Gaspard is renowned for his stained-glass windows and the quality of his restorations. The name of Laurent is attached to Gsell, the name of his mother, daughter of Emile Laurent, a famous glassmaker. Lucien Laurent-Gsell entered the École des Beaux-Arts, where he was a pupil of Gaspard Gsell, his father and Alexandre Cabanel. Both of their teachings gave him a passion for the rendering of light in colors, combined with remarkable technical virtuosity in the mastery of drawing. He painted numerous Orientalist scenes as well as scenes of the genre, where the female characters were overflowing with vitality and sensuality. His works are included in the collections of the Musée d'Orsay. Laurent-Gsell died in 1944 in Paris.
