See also:JEAN HIPPOLYTE See also:FLANDRIN (1809-1864) , See also:French painter, was See also:born at See also:Lyons in 1809 . His See also:father, though brought up to business, had See also:great fondness for See also:art, and sought himself to follow an artist's career . Lack of See also:early training, however, disabled him for success, and he was obliged to take up the See also:precarious occupation of a See also:miniature painter . Hippolyte was the second of three sons, all painters, and two of them eminent, the third son See also:Paul (b . 1811) ranking as one of the leaders of the See also:modern landscape school of See also:France . See also:Augusta (1804-1842), the eldest, passed the greater See also:part of his See also:life as See also:professor at Lyons, where he died . After studying for some See also:time at Lyons, Hippolyte and Paul, who had See also:long determined on the step and economized for it, set out to walk to See also:Paris in 1829, to See also:place themselves under the tuition of See also:Hersent . They See also:chose finally to enter the atelier of See also:Ingres, who became See also:net only their instructor but their friend for life . At first considerably hampered by poverty, Hippolyte's difficulties were for ever removed by his taking, in 1832, the See also:Grand Prix de See also:Rome, awarded for his picture of the " Recognition of See also:Theseus by his Father." This allowed him to study five years at Rome, whence he sent See also:home several pictures which consider-ably raised his fame . " St Clair healing the See also:Blind " was done for the See also:cathedral of See also:Nantes, and years after, at the See also:exhibition of 18J5, brought him a See also:medal of the first class . " Jesus and the Little See also:Children " was given by the See also:government to the See also:town of See also:Lisieux . " See also:Dante and See also:Virgil visiting the Envious Men struck with See also:Blindness," and " See also:Euripides See also:writing his Tragedies," belong to the museum at Lyons .
Returning to Paris through Lyons in 1838 he soon received a See also:commission to See also:ornament the See also:chapel of St See also: F . (1869) . |
