🎨 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 becomes one of the most respected artists of his time, celebrated for his classical painting imbued with elegance, technical finesse, and deep sensitivity.
His style, refined and theatrical, relies on an ideal beauty with smooth contours, luminous complexions, and a rich symbolism inspired by mythology, religious history, and classical tradition. In 1863, his emblematic canvas The Birth of Venus definitively establishes him as the painter of the Second Empire, favored by Napoleon III and the official Salon.
Official painter, influential professor, member of the Academy of Fine Arts, Cabanel opposes the avant-gardes of his time, notably Édouard Manet, embodying a more harmonious, narrative, and profoundly human vision of painting. His elegant portraits, his idealized female nudes, his mythological representations continue to captivate gazes today.
