🎨 Who was Alexandre Cabanel?

Alexandre Cabanel (1823–1889) embodies the excellence of French academic art in the 19th century. Trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, he quickly became one of the most respected artists of his time, celebrated for his classical painting marked by elegance, technical finesse, and deep sensitivity.

His style, refined and theatrical, relies on an ideal beauty with smooth contours, luminous skin tones, and rich symbolism inspired by mythology, religious history, and classical tradition. In 1863, his emblematic canvas The Birth of Venus definitively established him as the painter of the Second Empire, favored by Napoleon III and the official Salon.

Official painter, influential professor, member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts, Cabanel opposed the avant-gardes of his time, notably Édouard Manet, embodying a more harmonious, narrative, and deeply human vision of painting. His elegant portraits, idealized female nudes, and mythological representations continue to captivate viewers today.

🔍 Thematic Focus – Mythology according to Alexandre Cabanel

For Alexandre Cabanel, mythology is not just a backdrop. It becomes a universal language, a theater of human passions, a mirror of an ideal of beauty. His mythological paintings, of rare finesse, breathe subtle modernity into ancient stories, where emotion and aesthetics meet.

With The Birth of Venus, Cabanel alone embodies the renewal of the female nude in academic painting. The goddess, lying on the foam, seems suspended between dream and reality. The composition evokes Botticelli, but the technique is firmly rooted in 19th-century virtuosity.

Other major masterpieces:

• 🌊 The Birth of Venus (1863) – The absolute symbol of pictorial ideal

• 👼 The Fallen Angel – Sensitive reading of fall and doubt

• 👑 Phaedra – Tragedy and interiority in dramatic tension

• 🌹 Albaydé – Portrait of oriental inspiration, with delicate sensuality

These works illustrate how Alexandre Cabanel knew how to blend classical grandeur and contemporary emotion. In reproduction, they take on their full scope: the radiance of skin tones, the softness of drapery, the depth of gazes... everything is faithfully rendered by our painter artists.
