BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION from Wikipedia:
Lorenzo de Nevers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lorenzo de Nevers was born at Baie-du-Febvre (today called Saint-Elphège), county of Yamaska, Quebec, Canada, on June 13, 1877.
Eighth son of Abraham Boisvert and Marie Biron, he was part of the ninth generation in Quebec. The genealogy shows that at the fifth generation, the name ‘de Nevers’ was changed into ‘Boisvert’. Mr. Ernest Laforce, which grandmother was the sister of Lorenzo de Nevers’s grandmother, explains the change as follows:
Three ‘de Nevers’ established themselves at Baie Saint-Antoine (called Baie-du-Febvre). One of them chose to establish himself at Coteau du Bois Vert. In order to be able to identify him differently from the others, people were calling him: de Nevers from du Bois Vert, then Nevers known as Boisvert, then finally at the fifth generation: Boisvert only.
It is only in 1896, while the family had immigrated in Central Falls, Rhode Island, that Edmond, the elder brother, lawyer, decided to recuperate the family name ‘de Nevers’ using a private law that was in force in Rhode Island. Lorenzo became then ‘de Nevers’.
Lorenzo’ parents registered him to drawing courses in the Rhode Island School of Design. When he became a man, at about 17 years old, his brother Edmond, already studying in Paris, convinced his parents to send Lorenzo in Paris in order to study paintings. The parents agreed for a period of one year. Lorenzo came back fifteen years later.
In Paris, under the supervision of Benjamin Constant and Jean Paul Laurens, he followed during two years the Julian Academia courses which was, at the time, one of the best school. He was a colleague of Picasso and Borduas.
According to Rosaire Dion-Levesque, Lorenzo was admitted to Paris Fine Arts in 1902. He spent ten years under the supervision of painting masters such as Gabriel Ferrier and Léon Bonnat. He arrived ninth on 400 when he competed at the Rome Grand Prix.
At the time, it was very common, more than today, that a beginner as well as more advanced artists copy masterpieces, the first to be able to improve, the second to reproduce paintings that were requested on the market. However, there was an important rule to respect: the copy could never be the same size of the original.
In the history archives of Canadian art, published by ‘Owl’s Head Press’ for the Concordia University (Volume II, no 1, summer 1975), a study presented by Mr. Laurier Lacroix from Paris-X-Nanterre University, informs us on ‘the Canadian artists copyist in Louvre (1838-1915), John Lyman (1886-1967), the couple Dubé, Cornélius Krieghoff (1815-1872), Joseph-Charles Franchère (1891).
